Committee Considers Bipartisan Legislation to Save Giant Sequoias From Extinction

Press Release

"Our nation's most icoic trees are in imminent danger, and without immediate action, we could lose these majestic giants forever. Although sequoias have survived for thousands of years, recent forest mismanagement has wiped out almost 20 percent of these national treasures over the last decade. The Save Our Sequoias Act is a crucial piece of bipartisan legislation that not only streamlines regulations but also provides the resources we need to ensure the survival of these trees for generations to come. With science-based active forest management and the removal of excess fuel in and around groves, we can prevent the unnecessary loss of these priceless icons."
