Opening 45 million acres of national forests—including iconic destinations like California’s Tahoe National Forest, Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail—to logging and road construction does not benefit America or it’s citizens. The removal of these longstanding protections for development will increase wildfire risk, threaten wildlife habitats, and degrade watersheds that provide clean drinking water.
America’s public lands belong to everyone. Congress should reject this attempt to roll back longstanding protections for our national forests and preserve these lands for future generations.
