A
Message From James Redfield
Dear Friends,
I grew up in the Alabama countryside, a region blessed with wonderful
forests as far as the eye could see. Sadly, many of the forests I loved have been
destroyed by clearcut logging and development.
Alabama is not alone in losing its precious virgin forests. 500 years
ago, America was covered with one billion acres of towering forestsforests with
giant trees one thousand years old, and a vast array of plants and animals living in
natural harmony that has existed for millions of years. Tragically, 95% of America's
original forests from Alabama to Alaska have been cut down.
Most of the last, untouched wild forests left in America are found in
our National Forests. Almost unbelievably, the U.S. Forest Service allows international
timber corporations to clearcut our last wild and Ancient forests on millions of acres of
our publicly owned National Forests!
Recently, I walked amidst some of these sacred, Ancient groves in
public forests in Oregon. Then, nearby, I walked amidst the devastation of an Ancient
Forest that had just been clearcut and destroyed by a logging company.
The experience moved me so deeply that I decided to join the national
movement to save America's Ancient Forests, and restore our wonderful National Forest
system. The group leading this campaign is Save America's Forests. Their
campaign is succeeding because it is based on people like you and me, people from all
walks of life who have joined together because they care about wildlife and forests, and
want to save our public lands for our children. |
This forest of giant Ancient trees in the Umpqua National
Forest, Oregon will soon be cut down. Help save it!

The leaders of Save
America's Forests traveled with me to the Ancient Forests in Oregon, and made a
short documentary of my dramatic visit in the forest.
You can share my journey, see what I saw, and learn how you too can
help Save America's Forests by obtaining a copy of this documentary video for only $5.
Sincerely,
James Redfield |
