The following ACTION ALERT comes to you from the Environmental Protection
Information Center. It invloves Lawless Logging on private lands in
California and could help protect Headwaters Forest from a ruthless
"salvage logging" exemptions. Write a letter today to help protect the last
remaining privately owned old growth redwood forest!
ACTION ALERT
>
> There are several important bills working their way through the
>California state legislature right now. The most timely bill is AB
>1313, introduced by Ted Lempert of Palo Alto. AB 1313 would end the
>practice of allowing "exemptions" from environmental review for salvage
>logging operations in old-growth redwood forests. Despite constant
>pressure from EPIC and Sierra Club, among others, the California Board
>of Forestry has repeatedly failed to close this massive and destructive
>loophole. We're taking our campaign directly to the legislature, but
>the politicians really need to hear from the grassroots--we're the only
>source of political will in situations that pit the health of the forest
>against the profits of huge corporations!
>

> AB 1313 will be heard in the Assembly Natural Resources Committee on
>April 14. There are three critical swing votes on that committee that
>will either make or break this bill. Contact the following Assembly
>members, especially if they're in your district, and urge them to
>support AB 1313!
