If you live in Vermont:

Please send your delegation a message via the buttons provided.

In your message, please let Senator Sanders, Senator Welch or Congresswoman Balint know that everyone across the country is counting on New England’s leadership on environmental issues — and that the federal forests in Vermont are not for sale.

Urge them to support a new National Monument in the Green Mountain National Forest as a necessary alternative to the destructive ‘Telephone Gap’ logging project and the culmination of the years-long process to strengthen our nation’s forests.

As Senator Sanders agreed back in 2021, “Allowing logging of mature and old federal forests should become a practice of the past.”

Or call Sen. Sanders’ office — (202) 224-5141

Or call Rep. Balint’s office — (202) 225-4115

Or call Sen. Welch’s office — (202) 224-4242

If you live in Maine:

Please send Congresswoman Pingree a message via the button below.

Congresswoman Pingree is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, which controls the U.S. Forest Service’s budget — and is therefore a very powerful voice on this issue.

In your message, please let Congresswoman Pingree know that everyone is counting on her to lead on this issue by urging the President to follow through on his promise to safeguard mature and old-growth federal forests by the only politically-viable method available — proclaiming a new National Monument in the majestic ancient forests of New England.

You can also call her office using the telephone number listed below. Thank you!

Congresswoman Pingree’s Office — (202) 225-6116
