Thank you for speaking up.
The Forest Service is under tremendous political pressure to get the cut out and that leads to shortcuts that put wildlife, forests, and fisheries at risk. Sadly, once compromised, nature will not recover for decades if not centuries.

This video explains why a Forest Service timber sale forester began both FSEEE and PEER
Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics (FSEEE) was created to assist Forest Service employees who wish to protect the environment and change the paradigm. Its mission is to protect our national forests and reform the U.S. Forest Service by advocating environmental ethics, educating citizens, and defending whistleblowers. FSEEE is a national organization of government employees holding the Forest Service accountable for responsible land stewardship.
PEER stands for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and is a similar organization open to all public employees. PEER supports current and former public employees who seek a higher standard of environmental ethics and scientific integrity within their agencies. It does this by defending whistleblowers, shining the light on improper or illegal government actions, working to improve laws and regulations, and supporting the work of other organizations.
