OPPOSE THE "SAVE" OUR SEQUOIAS ACT

Giving agencies the freedom to fire up their chainsaws, sidestep environmental protections, crush seedlings, and expand logging—even in National Parks and Wilderness—will not "save" our groves. It will degrade them.

As I write this, a shadowy coalition is making substantial sums of money exploiting and destroying giant sequoia groves on public lands and lying about it. Learn more in our blog below!

JMP @EnergyDems hearing today. Waiting to hear whether @SenAlexPadilla will submit the letter from over 120 NGO’s OPPOSING S.4103 the so called “save” Our Sequoias Act. https://t.co/The9W8LQgJ

THIS IS FIELD RESEARCH

Thousands of giant sequoias are growing after high-intensity fire, often hidden under dense native shrubs. We go deep into places few people reach to collect the data and make sure the science reflects the conditions on the ground.

SEQUOIA SUNSETS

Five years after fire, the sun slips behind the ridge as towering snags catch the last light. Beneath a sea of shrubs—mostly hidden from view—thousands upon thousands of giant sequoia seedlings and saplings are rising.

How many can you find?

Hey @SenAdamSchiff @SenAlexPadilla @SenateAg @SenateDems @EnergyDems think Giant Sequoias don’t grow back after fire? Think again! Don’t pass the “Save” Our Sequoias Act or The “Fix” Our Forests Act. Be leaders who protect this iconic species, not ones who destroy them.

The Trump Admin wants to repeal the #RoadlessRule We say stop this nonsense and strengthen it instead! https://t.co/jEO0pFH3Ed

Do you know where this sea of regeneration surrounding JMP staff is? Or what species these young trees are? Leave your answers in the comments! Hint, these youngsters will become some of the biggest trees in the world. #resilience #postfire #knpcomplexfire

Amazing rejuvenation of high severity burn 5yrs after Caldor Fire. @forestservice @LakeTahoeUSFS claims this must be “thinned” and sprayed with glyphosate to recover… End the logging lies. We need infrastructure hardening, NOT ECOCIDE! #herbicides #tahoe #nature

The "Fix Our Forests Act" (FOFA) will only continue to endanger communities. Read our latest Substack to revisit comments we received on social media about (how wrong we are regarding) FOFA: https://t.co/dLI8dvJPtF

[John Muir Project @JohnMuirProject]

FOFA would only expand the same flawed paradigm—making these reforms urgent. Big loss: Following the 2020 Thielsen Fire north of Crater Lake National Park, some large, resilient trees were cut down in the name of public safety. Photo: Francis Eatherington

Nathan Gilles exposes how the Forest Service has weaponized wildfire prevention tools—emergency authorities, “streamlined” NEPA, stewardship contracts, and the Good Neighbor Authority—

[John Muir Project @JohnMuirProject]

dressed up as “fire mitigation” or “forest health”. The FS should be removed from USDA and replaced with a Department of Ecology to safeguard public lands, forests, watersheds, and fire-adapted ecosystems for people and the diverse flora and fauna that depend on them.
