RE: SB 234 - SUPPORT-

Dear Assembly Member (Your member's last name)

I urge you to support SB 234, the Clean Water, Healthy Forest reform bill. 80% of California's water originates in our forested areas. Currently, the timber industry dominates the Board of Forestry which is responsible for protecting our water and wildlife from destructive logging practices. We need a Board that is balanced, has members with strong scientific backgrounds and provides stringent conflict of interest provisions to ensure that special interests are not allowed to damage and degrade our water quality.

Please keep me informed of the fate of this important legislation and your efforts to protect California's water.

Sincerely,
Your name
