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.

Destruction of the few of these magnificent trees we have left makes absolutely no sense.

I have taken my young daughter to the Giant Sequoiaq National Forests and I want my grandsons to be able to visit there in the future. It is an amazing sight that will always stay in my memory. Please protect these historic giants.

These trees are awe inspiring and cutting them down would be criminal. Please do not destroy something that you cannot replace.
