Please help save the North Woods: Wisconsin's North Woods are once again threatened
Subject: [Clan of the Earth Mother] Please help save the North Woods
Wisconsin's North Woods are once again threatened!
Last year, the Environmental Law & Policy Center won three federal lawsuits which required the U.S. Forest Service to reconsider their plans to cut thousands of acres of timber in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Now the Forest Service released their proposed, revised plan to do exactly the same thing!
The Chequamegon-Nicolet was recently identified as one of the "10 most endangered national forests" in the nation. It is one of the most heavily-logged national forests in the Eastern region (which stretches from Minnesota to Maine). At the cutting rate employed over the last 10 years, every single log-able acre would be cut in 45 years. The harmful impacts of such extensive logging on waterways, habitat and related natural resources and conservation goals are significant.
Please send an email to the U.S. Forest Service to let them know how disappointed you are that they have ignored the federal court. Tell the Forest Service that you value the North Woods and want Wisconsin's natural heritage protected for future generations.
