Dear Sec. Vilsack,

Mature and old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest store enormous amounts of carbon, more than any other terrestrial system on Earth. Public forests managed by the US Forest Service play a critical role in stabilizing our climate and staving off global warming. What will your office do to protect these forests and trees, our "global warming champions"?

Thank you.
