These investments have permanently protected some of our best natural solutions to combating the climate crisis, while growing our forest base overall. But the demand from counties to protect their threatened mature forests far exceeds this original investment. There are still approximately 75,000 acres of older state forests that, if conserved, would avoid approximately 35 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116742a9cf9f08fbadd882809c06d39d421d439038cf0e75308995914f36011bba4a6a9177d0636993610fd9ac97e8ea4a232> This year, there is another opportunity to invest additional CCA funds to conserve more mature forests, acquire more replacement lands for encumbered counties, and implement climate-smart forestry practices to restore unhealthy forestlands. Decisions are being made now, and lawmakers need to know how valuable this investment is to building healthy and climate-resilient communities. Strong public support for conserving mature forests is what secured funding for the past two years. Your voice truly matters and is an important force in protecting our remaining mature forests from being clearcut. Make your voice heard today! Tell legislators: invest in mature forests! <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116742a9cf9f08fbadd882809c06d39d421d439038cf0e75308995914f36011bba4a6a9177d0636993610fd9ac97e8ea4a232> Thanks for all that you do for the environment, Mariska Kecskes Public Lands Organizer Sierra Club Washington State ________________________________ <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116743f00b2fd3fd25686dba0bb06c299924ab9abddf76529b226cf5e44301aca8b0bfa0eb8e2d76579c610f3eb029ec4bfc0> <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116742b630796d99a056c7f9a87bd11d3c0df6e316393e88c7af6b2c09e30258c82440689348b375097a91fba12ba2668cb60> <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116749f9786a957cdfe3afaca5fb99aca195138e0da4e295113fab608962e72c479e08bd2e67935e6bf3ed4b6599582972e8b> <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab31167424cd5e27bf98382cb0c7cf6927db8136c63734e4c0d152b0df1ab13c634a774526771d32b9b407d46dcbd831cde11a27> Support the Chapter! <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab31167447619fab6dc7b631cb50ffa670f43f2ed60c0a75949968c8bf09fa90c85a86f2fe77d5be6958744784906dd017ff9178> <https://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe94137277610c7d76/m/3/cb618475-a634-44dc-9eb1-448c05763d00.png> This email was sent to: jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us This email was sent by the Sierra Club Washington State Chapter 180 Nickerson St, Suite 202, Seattle, WA 98109 Unsubscribe <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab3116741a47cc56eb62dc9c66b9f55ab42a50c7b3fb7d107ce36e91a9d76957e23aa1598737a4311fd307bbc1e5536671ea74af> | Manage Preferences <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d85ab50eab311674255f01342bd35d8ec078e8dc335f37b13d73f334aca0837739b58cc4821e14d6954062a6882e2673641d198e509963f1> | View as web page <https://view.emails.si erraclub.org/?qs=70874b734234217c6fe1414530e17d585c73e71863a76f0829d2b42ffe5d9d583e9d0d6099f984ae26d1fabbcc905adc7843358b840010c147a507b3491d8e60f22bb3d2c55a9e356a5c7968b936858d> <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/open.aspx?ffcb10-fe901073776c0c7d73-fe2e15727d640578761c75-fe94137277610c7d76-ff6210717d-fe5810797460007b771d-ffcc17&d=70242&bmt=0>
