who we are: open letter
The Heritage Forests Campaign is an alliance of conservationists, educators, scientists, clergy and ordinary Americans who are working together to ensure our unprotected scenic wilderness forests are permanently protected.
Our goal is to generate a broad public education campaign and empower citizens to convey to decision makers their interest in protecting America's Heritage Forests.
Initiated with the Clinton Administration's announcement to temporarily suspend road building on some National Forest lands, the Heritage Forests Campaign submitted the following open letter to Vice President Gore. You can view the signers of the letter grouped by:
America's Heritage Forests are at risk. America's Heritage Forests comprise just one-third of all the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service and are not permanently protected from logging, road building, and mining. These scenic, unprotected wilderness areas provide unmatched opportunities for camping, hiking and other recreational pursuits, valuable habitat for fish and wildlife, and abundant supplies of clean drinking water.
The Clinton Administration must implement a policy to permanently protect America's Heritage Forests, consisting of all remaining roadless areas 1,000 acres and larger (or smaller where ecologically significant), from logging, road construction, mining and other damaging activities. We have a responsibility to future generations. We must permanently protect our scenic Heritage Forests as parks and wilderness.
Once they're gone, they're gone forever.
November 18, 1998
Dear Vice President Gore:
On January 22, 1998, the Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck announced an interim policy placing an eighteen-month moratorium on the construction of new roads in some roadless areas on national forest lands. This interim policy is the first phase in Administration plans for a comprehensive transportation policy for forestlands that will be developed over the course of the next 18 months. As a centerpiece of this effort, the Forest Service should adopt a policy that accords permanent protection to America's Heritage Forests, roadless areas 1,000 acres and larger (or smaller where ecologically significant), from logging, road construction, mining and other damaging activities.
America's Heritage Forests serve a variety of important public values. They are sources of our cleanest drinking water and some of our most important fish and wildlife habitat. They are a haven for the human spirit and a wellspring of future wilderness areas. By fostering permanent stewardship of our natural heritage, America's last untouched scenic wilderness will continue to provide spiritual, biological, economic, and recreational benefits.
Last fall, in his statement accompanying the 1998 Interior Appropriations Act, President Clinton said,
"(t)he Forest Service is developing a scientifically based policy for managing roadless areas in our national forests. These last remaining wild areas are precious to millions of Americans and key to protecting clean water and abundant wildlife habitat, and providing recreation opportunities. These unspoiled places must be managed through science, not politics."
On December 10, 1997, 169 scientists wrote a letter to President Clinton saying,
"(I)n our view, a scientifically-based policy should, at a minimum, protect from development all roadless areas larger than 1,000 acres and those smaller areas that have ecological significance because of their contributions to regional landscapes."
Despite this, on January 22, Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck announced an interim policy that explicitly exempts vast tracts of America's Heritage Forests located in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and elsewhere. Additionally, it does not protect smaller, ecologically significant roadless areas. The interim policy allows logging to continue in roadless areas through helicopter timber sales and ground-based logging techniques that do not require roads, and does not protect roadless areas from oil and gas development activities, or motorized activity.
Although President Clinton announced a sweeping roadless area protection initiative, Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck appears headed down a path that will provide no permanent protection for our Heritage Forests, despite overwhelming public opinion plus Chief Dombeck's own observations to the contrary.
The American public understands the importance of protecting our Heritage Forests. A recent nationwide voter opinion survey conducted by Lake, Snell, and Perry and commissioned by the Wilderness Society found that 65 percent of voters support a proposal to "stop all timber cutting in roadless wild forest areas." In the survey, 68% of Democrats, 60% of Independents and 64% of Republicans supported a halt to logging in these areas. Similarly, 69% of respondents in the Northeast, 61% in the Midwest, 64% in the South and 66% in the West supported a logging moratorium in scenic, unprotected wilderness.
Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck recognizes the importance of our Heritage Forests. In a July 1 letter to all Forest Service employees on Conservation Leadership, Chief Dombeck said,
"(v)alues such as wilderness and roadless areas, clean water, protection of rare species, old growth forests, naturalness-these are the reasons most Americans cherish their public lands... (T)wenty percent of the National Forest System is wilderness, and in the minds of many, more should be. Our wilderness portfolio must embody a broader array of lands-from prairie to old growth. As world leaders in wilderness management, we should be looking to the future to better manage existing, and identify new wilderness and other wild lands."
Before you, Vice President Gore, lies an unprecedented opportunity to leave a legacy of Heritage Forests for future generations. We urge you to adopt a final policy at the termination of the 18-month moratorium that forever protects America's Heritage Forests, roadless areas 1000 acres and larger on all national forests (or smaller where ecologically significant), from logging, road building, off-road vehicles, mining and other damaging activities. With the dawning of the new millennium, this is the least we can do for future generations.
