Say No to Clear Cutting and "Fuels" Removal in Our Public Forests!!

There is a massive issue with how we (and the rest of the U.S.) are managing our forests. There is a clear cutting, thinning, and "fuels" reduction "restoration" project (Middle Boulder Creek Fuels Reduction Partnership Project) about to begin on the outskirts of Nederland where 200 acres of public land (County and Forest Service aka Your Land) will be "treated" to mitigate wildfire. These methods are neutral at best at mitigating wildfire and are more likely to cause wildfire than to mitigate it.
These projects are "Trump Brained" science and need to be stopped. Here is a quick list of the effects these "restoration" projects cause:

1. Soil Compaction/Disturbance/Pollution
2. CO2 emissions
3. Habitat Degradation
4. Habitat Fragmentation
5. Invasive plants
6. Waste of Public Resources
7. Noise
8. Needs Consistent Maintenance
9. Creates ideal conditions for grass/brush fires
10. False Sense of Safety
11. Cultural Cooptation
12. Human Hubris
13. Counter-productive
14. Inhibits Evolution
15. Boulder County Species of Concern

TLDR; Wildfire mitigation on public lands is not only ineffective, but makes our forests and communities less resilient. Climate drives the conditions of wildfires first and foremost. Logging forests releases 10 times more carbon than a wildfire does. The Forest Service is the main driver behind this false belief because they have "logging quotas" that continue to increase. There are more of these projects on the horizon, especially if Trump's "Fix Our Forests" Act passes.

Rest in Power Tortuguita!!

JANUARY 18: DAY OF THE FOREST DEFENDER

"The nature of this confrontation was altered permanently by the hasty and poorly-made decisions of Jerry Parrish, Bryland Myers, Jonathan Salcedo, Ronaldo Kegel, Royce Zah, and Mark Jonathan Lamb. These officers ambushed and killed Tortuguita, the nom de guerre with which we knew a 26 year old anarchist living in the forest.
...
Combative anarchists, New Afrikans/Black liberationists, Indigenous land defenders, socialists, nihilists, abolitionists, anti-imperialists, and all other independent and aspiring forces: let’s organize encounters, events, actions, interventions, and deeds to honor those killed, kidnapped, disappeared, and abused in defense of our shared planet and its life forms."

“If the Cops Kill Me I Want You to Riot”

"Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police.
...
We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality."

TEAR GAS? Flash 💥? Pepper spray?
The police go on the news spewing lies and excuses to justify the brutality and unwarranted aggression towards OUR PEACEFUL PROTEST. The same lines, exaggerations and absolute 🐂💩 that the IDF uses to speak about anyone who opposes them.

Why, yes, I do want to be associated with these people. They are right and you are wrong. Your constituents told you they would act. "If you build it, we will burn it" i believe was the quote.

You and the #Atlanta City Council ignored them. They don't want #copcity.

What’s the adage? “Be water, spread fire.” While the bloc was attracting the attention of 100-150 MPD piggies, local #minneapolis militants attacked institutions of capital funding #CopCity (US Bank is not a funder, but it’s cool shit regardless). #StopCopCity #DefendTheForest #RIPTortuguita
