Save the Santa Fe National Forest

What a great idea! Let's burn more forests so we add yet more carbon to the atmosphere and further enrich whatever greedy corporation will make a killing - literally and figuratively - off of this. It's "plans" like this that bear witness to the fact that capitalism makes you stupid...RREALLY STUPID!!

Stop the burns! They cause harm to people, animals, vegetation and are NOT scientifically proven to wrk. Moreover STOP doing whatever you please without citizen input, Forest Service.

I've lived in Northern NM since 1957. I've known in my heart that it is Wrong to burn forests, but I just found out, in the Green Fire Times, that other folks know this also! I'm grateful to not be alone! The smoke from those "prescribed burns" is used to cover air pollution from other sources. When will we stop the destruction?! I'm no scientist, just a living breathing person, who once loved to roam NM's forests.

Greater Santa Fe Fireshed work is not a "project" but instead its a program. A programmatic EIS must be completed.

PLEASE DO NOT CLEAR THE FORESTS.

Please find alternatives and protect our forests from unnecessary damage to life! thank you!

Although any study cannot completely cover the complexity of the forest with climate changes occurring, to speed ahead with thinning without a thorough EIS is an exercise in ignorance headed for disaster of our public lands. Respect for the health of our forests and therefore our planet absolutely requires, at a minimum, an EIS.

Waiting for an EIS simply makes sense.

It is standard practice to require an EIS before projects of this magnitude. Please act with due caution.

This is an abomination! With all the pollution already compromising our air quality and the one thing that stands to benefit the problem being foolishly demolished with heavy petroleum guzzling ecosystem destroying equipment as a preemptive strike against wildfires? This is pure insanity

Please stop clearing trees around Santa Fe until an EIS has been done.

I live adjacent to the SF National Forest and of course fire safety is a major concern. Likewise a poor EIS is also a major concern. I request that the SFNF prepare an EIS that complies with established guidelines for a tree clearing program.

Please do not burn trees in the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo mountains above Santa Fe; new science (Hidden Life of Trees) shows their community networking & their sequestering of carbon are life giving. We value the forest in its natural state, as we value ecological integrity over profit. Maj-Britt Eagle, 21 Cougar Ridge Road, 87505

this is a test

I live adjacent to the national forest, and implore you to conduct an EIS as this petition states...as public input is impt and needed in this effort. Of course we need to make the forests safer, but we also need to preserve habitat for wildlife, and other needed ecosystem functions.

Beautiful area. Worth protecting.

Comply with existing laws and prepare an EIS before any tree thinning or clearing. Don't rely on outdated science, consult current science when making decisions about forest management.

Please moderate your care and clear cutting of the forest

Thank you for caring so much about our piece of the environment and saving the forest from over cutting.
