John,

Trees that have been standing for hundreds of years could be facing chainsaws and bulldozers.

Our oldest and wildest forests are on the chopping block. And once these forests are lost, they won't grow back in our lifetimes. It will take generations upon generations for 500-year-old trees to regrow.

Environment Colorado won't let these ancient trees be cut down -- and it's not too late to save them.

There are only a few hours left to double your impact for our forests. Will you make your matched gift now?

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery

Forests older than the United States could be on the chopping block, John.

We're gearing up to defend these centuries-old trees -- but it looks like we haven't received your End of Year Drive donation yet. Are you with us?

Be a guardian for our forests: Make your matched donation now.

America's forests are in serious danger.

Some of these trees have survived for hundreds of years in the face of fire, storms and disease. But without help, they'll be no match for the chainsaws and bulldozers that could be headed their way.

That's where we come in -- and with your help, we know we can win meaningful results to defend our wild forests:

When Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins proposed opening 45 million acres of national forests to logging, mining and development, we teamed up with partners and allies to deliver more than 600,000 public comments from concerned citizens.1

When Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) tried to sell off parts of our national parks to the highest bidder, we rallied supporters like you to speak out -- and for now, he's withdrawn his proposal.2

When Congress tried to pass the so-called "Fix Our Forests Act," which would fast-track devastating amounts of logging in our national forests, we mobilized environmentalists across Colorado to speak out -- and for now, we've stopped the bill in the U.S. Senate.3

In the year ahead, we'll keep working around the clock to defend wild forests -- but we can't do it alone, John.

That's why generous donors are matching contributions, up to $100,000 nationwide, until midnight tonight. Double your impact by making your matched year-end gift today.

Thank you for being part of our team,

Ellen Montgomery

P.S. If you've already donated to our End of Year Drive, thank you! We may still be processing your gift for our environment.

Your donation will be used to support all of our campaigns to protect the environment, from saving the bees and protecting public lands, to standing up for clean water and fighting climate change. None of our work would be possible without supporters like you. Environment Colorado may transfer up to $50 per dues-paying member per year into the Environment Colorado Small Donor Committee.
