Join the Campaign

to Stop Clearcutting

in the Sierra Nevada

Clearcuttiing in Sierra Nevada

 

Yes, clearcut logging is still destroying the Sierra. A single huge corporation, Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) is clearcutting and turning into tree plantations over 1.7 million acres in the Sierra.  We have partnered with ForestEthics in a campaign to ask people to stop buying wood products that are produced by destroying our forests.

 

We need volunteers

 

You can help us bring to the public’s attention the horrific effects of clearcutting, including the loss of beauty and wildlife habitat, the erosion and the sedimentation, and the poisoning of soil and streams with toxic herbicides. Healthy forests provide 60% of the state’s water supply, and sequester carbon to help combat global warming.

 

We need volunteers to write letters, do tabling, participate in demonstrations and help stread the word that companies that desecrate our Range of Light do not deserve our business.
