Join a live event on May 26 to protect our oldest forests <http://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe8f1372746d007871/m/22/1a6411f1-d430-4730-a89c-6df5a08e58b0.png> Since the day the Trump administration took office, they have pushed to sell off and sell-out public lands across the country by repealing conservation policies and firing agency personnel. Our national forests are the heart of our public land. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which is one of the single most important protections for public lands, is being repealed. It protects almost 60 million acres of undeveloped national forest and grasslands from road building, and the logging and mining that come with that. Simultaneously, the administration is taking an axe to the US Forest Service itself. Many of the local research stations will be shuttered and consolidated, regional office spaces are slated to be sold, and headquarters will be moved from Washington, DC to Salt Lake City, UT. Join us to learn how these issues are connected, how more than a century of national forest history can inform where we go next, and what you can do about it all. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/ ?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEEp07uNQi8XdJCksOeDWGe6wKAaWK3kO00jdC0PARb72ZR3wSwgP1oBBv-esjTuEho83B0mwBb2tYrx_5DzQXJnV67e9dFj5eGJiftK> RSVP to save your spot! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEEqQul1ApaINAMtSW0JNqhKzNhRnVz3sJ-C6_3-YijcWo1mukn5jfjY6P_dBHl4tUO6Gbt5PKysx1SsRscknQVTNEaP6W9DeLX Le0s9> <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEErF9qU3aA6ZX6Kk5YYhO-dT39zaZvuJYVyfSLWTFP6cWBIHiasHhvGCF5iIvFqGTnFtD4KUDlyN1khi-VvjCekhyYRVOEmeSecGl_3> Photo courtesy of Jan Huber Dear John, Right now, we are in an historic moment and we are fighting for the future of our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (also called the "Roadless Rule") has stood quietly as one of the most consequential public lands conservation policies in history, protecting the wildest parts of our national forests. The Roadless Rule conserves nearly 60 million acres of undeveloped tracts of forest and grasslands across the country. Creating this policy -- and the robust public engagement process that went with it -- was arguably the best idea the Forest Service had in its history. Now, this administration is trying to roll back the clock by attempting to repeal the Roadless Rule. This summer will be a key moment for us to influence the process. At the same time, the administration is dismantling the very agency charged with stewarding our entire national forest system, the US Forest Service. Join us to learn how these issues are connected, how more than a century of national forest history can inform where we go next, and what you can do about it all. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/ ?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEEswQnHrxj-zgS-iIeTxhRv2tSKhbM-DLUXvjSvOAibCUUYnYyyynJvvIyLTmAziiraLMCGJH_l742Ty77f63HTheXEoGXVLrnhxqsE> * 📅 WHAT: Protect Our Oldest Forests * 📌 WHERE: Online -- join from wherever you are! * 🕠 WHEN: Tuesday, May 26, at 4pm PT / 7pm ET * 👉 HOW: RSVP to hold your spot and receive the invite link <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEEt8ILC_UoKCQ4FNIIr-RQ2KrkuTWMj2MjNuB8Jl-vda0ioyGyK407de8XhrM JPZuYaqcVtctcOCUTNJWfGBTr1b-yx6Lh1GS2QwwWY> RSVP to save your spot! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ4Nzh9AAcAAAAAAXEGOEEucutNPWIs789g_4vs5E-ivUkXI_a1nyv6KG9WzDd1tZnMvFBVmiawuZ_1hhes9W8CQqEvncr41ZzM8cQEy1niBSIsxu2FnGb R9RzF> Can't make it live?
