Parks, Open Spaces & Wild Places

These trees have withstood the test of time. We can't let Bush-era holdovers take them down.

Join us in standing up for America's last wild forests. Tell Secretary Tom Vilsack to declare roadless areas within our national forests off-limits to industry.

Please sign the petition at right.

Last year, we helped pass a bill in Congress to ban mining where it could damage a national park. Now we're asking the Senate to do the same. Read more.

Sign the petition: To Secretary Vilsack: I urge you to put a halt to Bush-era plans to allow the timber, mining, coal and oil industries into our pristine national forests. I support full restoration of Clinton-era protections to nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forests under the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Yet as current U.S. Forest Service officials move ahead with Bush-era plans to allow logging, mining and drilling in forests in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, I urge you to take immediate action to stop the destruction before it's too late.
