Save California's Wild Forests
Environment California: Save California's Wild Forests
For over three years, the Bush administration has been undermining the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protects 58.5 million acres of wild forests around America, 4.4 million acres here in California.
To ensure our forests continue to provide clean drinking water, habitat for wildlife and endless opportunities for recreation and solitude we must convince Gov. Schwarzenegger to fight for 100 percent protection of California's last wild forests. Follow the link below to e-mail the governor, and then ask your friends and family to do the same.

Background
Enacted in January 2001, the Roadless Rule protects the last third of America's national forests while allowing new road construction in order to fight fires, ensure public safety, and allow brush clearing to protect forest health. The Roadless Rule ensures that forests will continue to provide clean drinking water, habitat for wildlife and endless opportunities for recreation and solitude.
On July 12, 2004 the Bush administration announced its proposal to repeal the Roadless rule and replace it with a process that allows governors to petition for more or less protection for roadless areas in their states.
The Bush administration scheduled a 60-day comment period on their plan. During the comment period, the administration received more than 1.4 million comments in opposition to its proposal. About a dozen governors spoke out in opposition to the proposal, as did many members of Congress. Despite the public support, President Bush repealed the Roadless Rule in May 2005. Since then Gov. Schwarzenegger has made several public promises to protect 100 percent of our wild forests in California. Time is running out for him to fulfill this promise.
Help spur the governor to action. Ask him to protect our last remaining wild forests. Follow the link below or paste it into your web browser.
