Via The Sierra Club:

Protect the Giant Sequoias From Logging

[W]e’ve reached a crucial time in the Sierra Club’s ongoing battle to protect one of the most triumphant symbols of America’s proud wilderness - California’s Giant Sequoias.

For more than twenty years, the Sierra Club and its Members fought to secure the future of this threatened wild area and as a result, President Clinton proclaimed this area a National Monument in 2000.

Since then, the Bush Administration has fought hard to render this important conservation victory meaningless and to rob America of its unique, wild heritage. And now, despite being rebuked by the federal courts, the Bush Administration is refusing to back off its plan to log this irreplaceable ancient forest.

[Please] sign our petition to the newly appointed U.S. Forest Service Chief, Abigail Kimbell, and ask her to challenge the Bush Administration’s continued efforts to allow commercial logging within the boundaries of the Giant Sequoia National Monument.
