The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF) has been identified as one of the "10 most endangered national forests" in the country. If the cutting rate goes unchecked, the logging in CNNF will result in extinction of key species, harm the state’s growing tourism and hospitality businesses and contribute to increased global warming pollution. We need to restore the ecological balance to Wisconsin’s Northwoods.
CNNF covers approximately 1.5 million acres in the northern part of Wisconsin, including numerous rivers and more than 300 species of animals. The CNNF consists primarily of northern hardwood, mixed conifer, and aspen trees, along with numerous rivers, lakes and other waterways. Its habitat includes several endangered and threatened species, such as the Northern goshawk, Red-shouldered hawk and American pine marten.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF) is a very special place, but it is in danger. CNNF has been identified as one of the "10 most endangered national forests" in the country and if the cutting rate goes unchecked, the logging in CNNF will result in extinction of key species, harm the state's growing tourism and hospitality businesses and contribute to increased global warming pollution.
Our national forests are for everyone. I support a healthy forest and a healthy local economy with a protected CNNF.
