FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







Resolution #9: Preservation of Giant Sequoia Groves


1997 FWOC Resolution #10 and 1998 FWOC Resolution #6 on this subject are hereby reaffirmed.  HR-2077 has been re-introduced in the House of Representatives as the "Sequoia Ecosystem and Recreation Reserve Act of 1999".  Passage of this long-delayed and badly-needed legislation (to ensure the continued existence of the giant sequoias in Sequoia National Forest is of extreme importance.  This bill assures the continued existence of these trees by:
1.  Designating certain areas (totaling approximately 160,000 acres) as Wilderness Areas and adding those areas to the national Wilderness Preservation System.
2.  Setting aside approximately 341,000 acres within the Sequoia National Forest as the "Giant Sequoia National Forest Preserve".
ACTION: Please write to your Senators and Representatives urging early passage of this much needed legislation.
