The Forest Council is engaging in a national and concerted effort to:
promote proforestation across federal, state, and local forests
connect fragmented forests
provide lasting and true protections for fauna and flora
combat misinformation spread by the industry and Forest Service
If you are a member of Heartwood and interested in participating in these efforts, please e-mail info@heartwood.org.
In the meantime, bad logging projects are abundant. Here are some hands-on, immediate-effect actions you can take to help halt the destruction of our forests.
The following are national efforts, so please TAKE ACTION - no matter what state you live in:
Please ask your Senator and other elected officials to endorse the Wilderness Expansion Bill S442 & HR8535! Please also click below to e-mail Senator Todd Young to co-sponsor the bill.
Please provide comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Study on the Federal Forest Plan Amendment to protect Mature and Old-Growth Forests upon publication - anytime now! We will have 90 days upon publication. For assistance or if you wish to comment through the Climate Forest Campaign, please e-mail Sonia Demiray with the Climate Communications Coalition.
As the permits that enable the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline are issued, revoked, re-issued and re-revoked, a series of direct actions have stopped the destruction of our national forests in the Washington, Jefferson, and Monongahela. The companies profiting from the construction of this pipeline have retaliated with a SLAPP suit in order to deter citizen involvement and undermine our right to protest and put our bodies in the way of injustice.
