Demand Real Protection for Giant Sequoia National Monument
Target: US Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid; Speaker of the House, Nancy PelosiSponsored by: Sierra Club
The Giant Sequoia trees of California are the largest living trees in the world ... some are as ancient as 3,400 years old, with a diameter of greater than 35 feet and the height of a 25-story building.
Giant Sequoias are among the oldest living trees on the planet. Many took root long before our great, great grandparents were born, and will live to see our great, great grandchildren -- if we don't allow the timber industry to destroy them first.
The Giant Sequoias were here before our nation was founded, quietly witnessing the evolution of our society. Now our "progress" is the greatest threat to their continued survival.
Sign the petition today to urge US leaders to bring real protection to the Giant Sequoia National Monument.

I remember being awed seeing these beautiful trees when I was a young child. It would be a shame if they weren't there for our grandchildren!

These trees take generations to grow back, if ever. Protect our Heritage trees and forests.

Visiting these magnificent trees was the most spiritual moment of my life. They must be protected, for all future generations. Awesome is a word that has been diluted by overuse to the point it has become nearly meaningless. This forest will teach any visitor open to grandeaur at all the original meaning of "awesome".

These beautiful trees MUST be preserved for future generations. They are all already older than any of us alive today, let them go on living.
