| Activists got a leg up on forestry issues
during an Action Night in June. |
Sierra Club members met at the Dodge Nature Center in West Saint
Paul on Thursday, June 3rd to discuss the Bush Administration’s
new proposal to increase logging in Superior and Chippewa National
Forests. These forests, near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, provide
critical habitat for hundreds of rare plant and animal species,
and recreation destinations for tens of thousands of Minnesotans.
“Once these resources are lost, they will be impossible to
replace,” said West Saint Paul resident Diane Englin-Elliot.
“We need to work to protect our wild forests so that future
generations can enjoy them.”
At the meeting, participants learned the details of the Forest Service
plan, and took action by writing letters to elected officials to
ask for a better plan that protects endangered species and roadless
areas. Many pledged to help spread the word to neighbors and friends
at a neighborhood outreach walk in West Saint Paul on Saturday,
June 12th.
