Today, November 3, 2021, we advocate for older forest protections. We ask President Biden to follow through on the promise to “lead by our example at home” by protecting mature and old growth forests from logging on federal lands.
President Biden is currently attending the Glasgow Climate Change Conference, COP 26, in Glasgow, Scotland. Before he left, VWC, along with 127 other environmental groups, delivered a letter to the White House asking that the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management stop the logging of older forests and trees on public lands. The correspondence specifically asks for this commitment to be part of the United States’ larger climate goals.
