You’ve probably heard how bad the so-called “Fix Our Forests Act” (FOFA) is — the 10,000-acre logging projects that can proceed with zero environmental review, for starters. But buried in the bill is another provision that would functionally eliminate Endangered Species Act, Wilderness, Roadless Area, NFMA, and NEPA protections for any logging project on Forest Service or BLM lands.

Join us — Wilderness Watch and John Muir Project — on Thursday, May 14th at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET to learn what’s in this provision, how it works, and what you can do to stop it.

FOFA has already passed the House and cleared the Senate Agriculture Committee. Large chunks have also been stuffed into the recently House-passed Farm Bill.
