Save the Tongass National Forest.

The Tongass National Forest.

For decades now the logging industry has been doing untold ecological damage to the environment by over logging and clear cutting entire forests.

Now the Tongass Nation Forest our nations largest national forest and one of the oldest large growth forests in the world is coming under attack again by the logging industry one company imperticular the Sealaska Native Corporation. This company is going directly to congress in an underhanded attempt to transfer even more public land to private control in order to clear cut the forest and further there own greed.

Not only dose this undermine the efforts of the local conservation groups but if the logging company gets there way they will destroy not only a large portion of this pristine forest but they will also be responsible for the devastation of the homes and habitats to hundreds of spices of animals.

The Tongass is a vast wilderness area  with large camping areas, caves, lakes, glaciers, hiking areas, and amazing views.

We can't afford to lose even more of our valuable public land to the greed of large cooperation's

Call or write to your senators and tell congress not to allow even more environmental devastation to our public lands and national parks.
