Interior Highlands Workshop to End Commercial Logging on Our National Forests October 5-7
September 2001

Learn to make a difference of historic proportions 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. This workshop will be held at the Mount Sequoyah Conference Center in the scenic foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Keynote speakers will be Chad Hanson of the John Muir Project and national Sierra Club Board of Directors, and several educational and inspiring activities are planned. Please join us.
