"Less than two weeks ago, I joined my bipartisan colleagues in introducing the Save Our Sequoias Act. Today, I am proud to have participated in a legislative hearing on the bill. The goal of the SOS Act is clear: save our precious sequoias for future generations. The bill will accomplish this as it restores active management by empowering land managers with critical tools to expeditiously carry out fuels reduction and reforestation projects. The urgent need for this common sense legislation could not be more clear."
