hello to all:
This is come to my attention. The US Forestry service is planning to open 700,000 acres of Pisgah and Natahala forest to logging, mineral extraction, as well as fracking.
Here are some good articles and places to start to have you voices heard:

http://wnca.org/usfsloggingnationalforest/

When I heard about this I was mad beyond measure. I have never been an activist but for this I'm sending emails left and right. Please do not think that someone else will do it. Email the forestry service, contact your legislators in this area. The information is very easy to find. Even if it is a small paragraph.
This has consequences beyond NC and the AT.
We need numbers and a voice. I hope all consider it.
Best Regards,
Floyd
