stop logging in old growth forests

Old-growth forests are irreplaceable ecosystems that serve as the foundation for regional biodiversity, climate stability, and watershed health. These ancient landscapes sequester vast amounts of carbon, provide critical habitats for endangered species, and offer natural filtration systems that protect our water supply. Once these forests are logged, the complex biological networks that have taken centuries to develop cannot be replicated, resulting in a permanent loss of ecological heritage that affects us all.

We are calling for an immediate moratorium on all logging activities within designated old-growth areas to ensure these vital ecosystems remain intact for future generations. We urge policymakers to prioritize permanent legal protections for these stands and to shift toward sustainable, second-growth timber management practices. By signing this petition and contacting your local representatives, you are demanding a science-based approach to land management that values the long-term health of our environment over short-term industrial extraction.
