Dear Senator [Last Name],
I am writing to express my strong opposition to President Trump’s recent executive order allowing commercial logging on federally protected national forests. This order threatens our environment by weakening essential protections under the Endangered Species Act and other environmental safeguards. Logging these lands will have devastating consequences, including habitat destruction, increased carbon emissions, and heightened wildfire risks.
The expansion of domestic timber production should not come at the cost of our irreplaceable public lands. While reducing reliance on foreign imports is important, experts warn that increased logging will not immediately replace Canadian imports and will likely drive up construction costs, making housing less affordable for Americans.
I urge you to take immediate action to oppose this order and protect our national forests from commercial exploitation. Our public lands must be preserved for future generations, not sacrificed for short-term corporate gain.
Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
