Stop Massive Clearcutting Near Yosemite and Create Rim Fire National Monument

Add your name to the growing list of people urging President Obama to protect the greater Yosemite ecosystem from post-fire salvage logging. In a warming world, we must act to foster a healthy regeneration of fire-affected forests and unroaded areas, protect endangered species susceptible to climate change and logging, and maintain the scenic resources of the region around Yosemite National Park for future generations.

Signing this petition sends an email to President Obama, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service Tom Tidwell, Regional Forester for Region 5 Randy Moore and Forest Supervisor for the Stanislaus National Forest Susan Skalski.

This petition unites the voices of Americans who ask President Obama to save this beautiful and unique area of California’s Sierra Nevada by creating the Rim Fire National Monument and demand the Forest Service halt the plan to clearcut the area now.
