Saving national forests
Thanks to our federation’s work, more than 1.5 million citizens
nationwide called on the Clinton administration to protect pristine
areas in our national forests, resulting in the Roadless Rule. When the
Bush administration attempted to overturn the rule, we worked with
governors in seven states to petition to protect their forests.
