No to the Fix our Forests act

To: Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks

From: A constituent in Frederick, MD

May 11

H.R. 471, the Fix Our Forests Act, which recently passed the House. I urge the Senate to oppose this bill because: It ignores proven wildfire community protection measures and prioritizes opening federal lands to logging interests It will open millions of acres of federal land to logging without scientific review or community input It encourages removal of large old trees that mitigate climate change by storing high amounts of carbon It could lead to increased road density and in turn increase risk of human-caused fires It guts key pieces of the Endangered Species Act. Thank you for your time and consideration.
