DESCRIPTION:Did you know that rampant clearcutting is still destroying the forests of 
 the Sierra Nevada and that most of this wood is being consumed by the U.S. 
 Homebuilding Industry?  \nOver the past fifteen years, literally tens of 
 thousands of acres of Sierra forests have been irreparably destroyed 
 through “clearcutting” by Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI).  
 Clearcutting has a number of impacts on the Sierra: species such as the 
 Pacific Fisher lose valuable habitat; biodiversity is decreased as huge 
 swaths of land are cleared and replaced with tree plantations; and fire 
 risks are even increased as tree canopy cover is removed which encourages 
 the growth of flammable brush.\n	The homebuilding industry consumes the 
 vast majority of this wood as well as wood from endangered forests around 
 the world.  To stop this destruction, they must adopt a comprehensive 
 policy that does not give preference to clearcut Sierra Nevada wood.  \n	If 
 you want to learn more about the issue and receive concrete trainings on 
 the way you can help in this important effort, come to a meeting on 
 December 2nd, from 10:30 to 4:45 at the Yosemite Room of the Sierra Club 
 Office, (85 Second Street, San Francisco) co-sponsored by the Loma Prieta 
 Chapter and ForestEthics.  Lunch will be provided.  \nTo attend, RSVP 
 required by contacting  415-863-4563 x. 328 or e-mailing 
 sierra@forestethics.org, and to learn more visit www.savethesierra.org.\n\n
