From our friends at Stop Clearcutting CA: 📢1 minute of your time can help stop Congress from passing the Fix Our Forest Act which actively promotes "vegetation management activities" meaning LOGGING in federal forests without public review.

Tell your U.S. representative: This bill won't fix our forests
Despite its name, the "Fix Our Forest" Act will do no such thing. This bill will open the floodgates for unwarranted logging and roll back protections for endangered species.

Sequoia coalition (USFS, NPS, Save the Redwoods, CalFire, etc.) has been going on about how millions of seedlings are not enough, that they have to plant in many groves. So then why are loggers bulldozing seedlings and putting burn piles on top of them? www.ilovetrees.net/sequoia-seed...
Giant Sequoia Seedlings Bulldozed by Loggers
Millions of natural seedlings have been killed or are currently being destroyed by logging operations in numerous sequoia groves.

Board Camp Grove sequoia seedlings, healthy & plentiful. As early as this week, NPS will cut down trees, bring in helicopters, and start a tree plantation there, in the WILDERNESS based on the lie that there are no seedlings & the trees are dead. Untrue. Watch for yourself. youtu.be/vCzUjow9JF4?...

Abundant, healthy sequoia seedlings in the remote Agnew Grove. The grove burned severely in 2015 and is recovering beautifully on its own without any "help" from humans. Keep wilderness wild!

Rewilding doesn't mean "reforesting 'everything'", but letting natural ecosystems *of all types* return.
Sheep produce almost zero food calories when you factor in feedstuffs, but prevent *huge* areas from returning to a natural state.
