There is a HUGE opportunity right now to take a stand for the future of our forests in the Klamath-Siskiyou region. The U.S. Forest Service is working to update every national forest plan in the country to protect old growth, which could become one of the most meaningful safeguards for federal forests that we have seen in decades. The agency is currently seeking public input on how they’ll manage public forests for generations to come. This is a unique opportunity that we don’t want to miss.

If enough of us write in this summer, we could finally end the harmful practice of logging our old-growth trees for profit and chart a course that allows mature trees to keep growing and become the next generation of old-growth.

Now is our chance to do something about the future of old-growth ecosystems. The outcomes of this process, and how meaningful they actually are, will depend on how far the public can push the Forest Service to establish enforceable protections. That’s where you come in!
