Forest Climate Alliance Webinar on Northwest Forest Plan Update Draft

Hey Alliance members,

As shared during the full Alliance meeting yesterday, the Wildfire/NW Forest Plan Working Group is hosting a 2nd webinar in their series on the Northwest Forest Plan and the proposed changes to how tens of millions of acres of federal forests are managed, coming up on Tuesday September 10th at 12pm. This webinar will focus on tribal inclusion, fire stewardship, and protections for mature & old growth forests in the NWFP.

You can register for the webinar here, and the full announcement with more information is below; can you help us spread the word? Here is an outreach toolkit with sample language and a graphic for eblasts & social media to make it easy.

Among the key issues the Forest Service needs to address in the updated Forest Plan are tribal inclusion & fire stewardship and the protection of mature & old growth forests. To ensure the NWFP amendment enables a more just & sustainable future for our forests & communities rather than repeating the mistakes and injustices of the past, our communities need to speak out & comment on the proposed changes.

Join us Tuesday, September 10th at noon for a deep dive into these topics and what’s at stake in the NWFP, and to get resources & information to submit effective public comments. Speakers include Meredith Jacobson, University of Oregon PhD candidate & member of the FireGen Collaborative, and Madeline Cowen, Grassroots Organizer with Cascadia Wildlands.

We expect the Forest Service to release their Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the NWFP amendment by the end of August, so the Sep 10th webinar will include helpful talking points & messages as well as info on how to submit public comments on the draft. RSVP here!

Thanks,

Alex Budd
