Sample letter


Regional Forester Jack Blackwell:

Don't turn back the clock on Sierra forest protections! The
Sierra Framework keeps the right balance between reducing the
risk of catastrophic fire and protecting wildlife and ecosystems.
California spotted owl, Pacific fisher, and other wildlife are a part
of our heritage. Make sure northern Sierra forests protect
wildlife, and retain the Framework protections in that region!

Please submit my official comments in favor of the "No
Action" (Keep the Framework Intact) alternative in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Implement the
Framework!
