Dear Friends,

Help Protect America's Heritage Forests at http://www.ourforests.org

This week is an Internet DAY OF ACTION to protect America's wild public
forests for future generations. Heritage Forests look like national parks,
but they are being destroyed by uncontrolled logging.

We ask that you -- and with your help thousands of other concerned
Americans -- do two things today to PROTECT AMERICA'S
HERITAGE FORESTS:

* Send an urgent fax to the Clinton-Gore Administration today at
http://www.ourforests.org. It's quick, easy and free!

* Forward !this! email to your friends, family and colleagues so
they, too, can send a message to protect our Heritage Forests.

Why? Because every child deserves to grow up around tall trees as
well as tall buildings; to watch salmon in a river, as well as on a TV
screen; to wander through mossy groves as well as urban sprawl; to walk on a
carpet of pine needles as well as one of asphalt.

Because wilderness is a hard thing to come by in today's world.

One-third of our publicly-owned forest lands -- America's Heritage
Forests -- are roadless and scenic, but unprotected.
Our Heritage Forests belong to you, to me, and to all Americans.

Right now the Clinton-Gore Administration is deciding the future of our
majestic forests. It seems like an obvious choice, doesn't it? Let's keep
our forest heritage as a legacy for future generations.

Unfortunately, while you and I might agree, the timber and mining
special interests think differently. They make big profits destroying our
ancient and pristine forests. It's wrong, but they are lobbying in
Washington, DC, to make sure that they keep it business as usual.

Unless we act now, our Heritage Forests will be gone forever.

The Forest Service just announced a short-term suspension on logging in some
of America's Heritage Forests. That's a really good idea, but it's not
nearly enough. Soon the Administration will be finalizing National Forest
'roadless areas policy' and deciding the long-term fate of these unprotected
scenic forests.

We must ensure that the Clinton-Gore Administration permanently
protects all of America's Heritage Forests, leaving this land an even better
land for our descendents.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERNET DAY OF ACTION.
Please do two things today to help protect our Heritage Forests:

* Send an urgent fax to the Clinton-Gore Administration today at
http://www.ourforests.org. It's quick, easy and free! And
your message will have the most impact if you send it now.

* Forward !this! email to your friends, family and colleagues so
they, too, can send a message to protect our Heritage Forests.

Today you can join with other Americans to leave a lasting legacy.
Our forests and future generations will thank you for your actions.
