[at-l] Re: Old Growth Forest

[Walter Shroyer <wshroyer@mail.bluefield.edu>]

Dear Friends,

   Only 4% of America's old growth forests remain.- You can help save
over
   2/3 of them right now by signing below and sending this on to 5
friends.

   Second only to clear cutting, building logging roads in our forests
is
   the most destructive force in our forests today. The U.S. Forest
Service

   has built more than 400,000 miles of roads in our National Forests
with
   our tax dollars -- enough to circle the planet 15 times. These roads
   destroy habitat for endangered species, cause erosion, water
pollution,
   and allow the timber and mining industries free access to our few
   remaining untouched National Forests. Right now, we have an
   unprecedented chance to force the Clinton Administration to protect
our
   few remaining old growth forests from roads, logging, mining and
other
   destruction. Please take a minute to sign below and send this on to
at
   least five friends.

   Thank you for your help,
   Phil Radford

   Dear Vice President Gore,
   Right now, the Forest Service is developing a policy that will
determine

   the future of the last unprotected wilderness areas in our National
   Forests. The proposed policy is riddled with loopholes, endangering
   nearly half of these roadless areas. I urge you to direct the Forest
   Service to develop a strong roadless policy for ALL of our National
   Forests so that we pass our forest heritage on to future generations.

   Protect all roadless areas greater that 1,000 acres; Defend roadless
   areas from logging, mineral, oil and gas development; and Include all
of

   our National Forests, especially forests in the Pacific Northwest and

   Alaska.
   Sincerely,
   Name, City, State, Zip, Email.
