Support the US Forest Service and National Park Service. Public lands, long considered a national treasure, were already underfunded and understaffed prior to the recent layoff of thousands of employees, many of whom are trained to assist firefighters. These cuts threaten our public lands, visitors, and the economies of nearby towns. Stop the senseless firings and decimation of our federal agencies, which is happening without any oversight or accountability. And, please oppose the opening of our public lands to wanton and large scale lumber extraction.
