As one of the most dramatic fire seasons in the West is coming to a close, we must act now to prevent further clear-cutting. Until we stop clear-cutting forests and replacing them with industrial tree plantations, fires cannot resume their natural role of rejuvenating our forests. We must demand that California’s legislators and governor act promptly in denying permits for unnecessary and dangerous clear-cutting. We must demand an end to clear-cutting and a return to sustainable logging in California’s forests.
