As the Bush administration transitions into its last months in office, our last wild national forests are literally moving to the chopping block, as a parting gift to the administration’s friends in the logging, mining and drilling industries.

Sample letter:

Dear Chief Kimbell,

Idaho contains the largest continuous forest in the lower 48 states.  This unique, pristine area is a national treasure and is of extreme importance to Americans in Idaho and across the country.

Unfortunately, the draft rule issued by the Forest Service for Idaho’s roadless areas would leave 6 million acres vulnerable to mining, logging, drilling and road-building.  Americans want to see our last wild national forests protected. Please use your leadership to ensure that all of Idaho’s 9.5 million acres are protected as intended in the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

Sincerely,
