After eight years as a climate reporter, I have concluded that our most urgent task is to protect our forests from the logging industry and from the “wildfire industrial complex.”

That’s why I am offering this free resource: The Myth of Overgrown Forests.

Unfortunately, our forests are under assault by industry and by government, with prestigious media outlets doing their part to disseminate misinformation about the best actions to take, to protect our forests.

Our forests are provide wildlife habitat. They provide carbon storage. They provide flood control. They prevent drought by creating their own rainfall and by acting like a sponge to absorb rainfall.

And yet, industry, governments, nonprofits and media are singing from the same sheet of music.

They are all saying our forests are overgrown with “excess fuel.”

They are all saying our forests need “thinning,” i.e., logging.

To protect our forests from bad policies based on lies, we need to learn about The Myth of Overgrown Forests.
