Preserving Michigan’s Wilderness

In 2006 we were joined by 8,000 citizens in asking Gov. Granholm to protect our public lands from logging, mining and development. As a result, the state passed laws curbing sales of park land and committed to creating at least three new protected areas. Read more.

Sign the petition: To Secretary Vilsack: I urge you to put a halt to Bush-era plans to allow the timber, mining, coal and oil industries into our pristine national forests. I support full restoration of Clinton-era protections to nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forests under the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Yet as current U.S. Forest Service officials move ahead with Bush-era plans to allow logging, mining and drilling in forests in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon, I urge you to take immediate action to stop the destruction before it's too late.
