Save the Trees

The Sierra Club would like to remind you that the Giant Sequoia, having survived 3,500 years in nature, is still in danger of commercial logging interests in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. President Clinton designated the area next to the Sequoia National Park in California a protected wildlife area in 2000. In 2005, with the support of the Bush Administration, commercial loggers started operating in the area to clear underbrush and, they argued, protect against wildfires.

The Sierra Club is backing a proposal to stop logging and turn over management of the monument to the National Park Service. If you would like to learn more or sign their petition to Congress, go to the Sierra Club website.
