Ask Gov. Perdue to protect Chattahoochee National Forest

Letter	Dear Governor Perdue, The Chattahoochee National Forest is home to scenic vistas, exceptional recreational opportunities and the headwaters of rivers that provide millions of Georgians with drinking water. Please petition the U.S. Forest Service to restore roadless area protections before the November 2006 deadline. Sincerely,

The Chattahoochee National Forest is one of the most popular places Georgians visit to hike, camp, fish or just relax. It is home to headwaters of the Chattahoochee River, which provides clean drinking water for millions of Georgians.

Unfortunately, the Forest Service repealed protections from logging and mining for more than 63,000 acres of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Unless Gov. Perdue petitions the Forest Service to reinstate these safeguards, the beauty of these forests could be lost to future generations. Ask Gov. Perdue to petition the Forest Service to protect the Chattahoochee National Forest.
