SAMPLE LETTER

Senator Barbara Boxer
1700 Montgomery St. #240
San Francisco, CA 94111

Dear Sen. Boxer,

I urge you to once again co-sponsor the Act to Save America’s Forests, a bill that will protect the sequoia groves in Giant Sequoia National Monument from ecologically disastrous logging and mismanagement by the U.S. Forest Service. The Act will transfer control of the monument from the Forest Service to the National Park Service.

In addition to keeping timber harvesting out of the Giant Sequoia National Monument, the act will protect tens of millions of acres of designated core forest areas throughout all the national forests from logging, including ancient forests, roadless areas, riparian zones, and other designated forest areas with high ecological value and old-growth characteristics. The act will require native biodiversity in the national forests to be protected and restored. It will prohibit clearcutting and other forms of destructive logging outside the core forest areas as well.

Thank you for co-sponsoring the Act to Save America’s Forests in the past. We ask you to co-sponsor it once again and work to pass it into law, so that the sequoias and national forests throughout this country will be protected for future generations.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
