Stop this bad forestry bill in its tracks!
The Wilderness Society
Please help us stop this bad forestry bill in its tracks!
Ever notice that some of the worst bills in Congress have misleading titles? The “Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015,” H.R. 2647, would actually undermine bedrock environmental protections, increase unsustainable logging and limit public involvement. Worst of all, it would fail to fix the funding crisis that starves the Forest Service of the proper budget to manage the national forests. How does that foster resilient forests?

Tell the Senate: Stop this bad forestry bill in its tracks!
Please help us stop this bad bill in its tracks. Ask the Senate to defeat this so-called “resilient forests” bill and find a better solution to the wildfire-funding crisis.
This bill, which already passed the House of Representatives earlier this year, claims to address the issues facing our forests today. In reality, it imposes a distorted approach to land management that would stifle local voices and dramatically reduce environmental review of logging projects, which could increase careless clear-cut logging. This is NO solution.
You can help make sure it never sees the light of day in the Senate. Please tell your senators to stop this bad forestry bill in its tracks, and instead pass legislation that would adequately fund responsible forest management.
Sincerely,
The Wilderness Society
