Hi folks. Please help us spread the word! This workshop is hosted by the Sierra Club's

your newsletter and/or post the invitation below far and wide.
Many, many thanks,
Ayelet Hines
The Forest Protection Workshop You Won't Want To Miss! October 5-7 in Arkansas
National Forests belong to you and future generations. So why are they being logged by
private timber companies at a $1-billion-a-year loss to taxpayers? Learn to make a
difference of historic proportion at the Interior Highlands Workshop to End Commercial
Logging on our National Forests, October 5-7,2001 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This workshop
is designed to give activists the information, resources and skills needed to organize an
end to taxpayer-subsidized logging on the forests owned by all Americans. Whether you have
National Forests in your backyard or not, this training will give you the tools to plan a
successful campaign in your community to protect the biggest forests, the oldest trees,
the cleanest watersheds and the best remaining habitat on the continent from logging.
Please join other forest activists high above beautiful Fayetteville, Arkansas in the
Ozark Mountains, when the fall colors will be at their peak. For more information, please
contact ayelet.hines@sierraclub.org, (512) 472-9094.
