No Fracking in National Forests

A Bureau of Land Management plan to open 40,000 acres of the Wayne National Forest to fracking and oil was just announced. Fossil fuel companies have targeted nation forests for years. 

Fracking threatens rivers, forests and endangered plants and animals – all of which Congress intended to protect when it created national forests. 

Sign the petition to say no fracking in national forests. 

Climate advocates feel this is a major step backward. 

“It’s hugely disappointing that federal officials are sticking with this climate-destroying plan to sell off Ohio’s precious public lands to the oil and gas industry, even as flooding, wildfires and heat waves intensify with climate change,” said Wendy Park, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. 

“Our government needs to prioritize people, wildlife and our climate over corporate profits and block fracking in the Wayne [National Forest] once and for all,” she added. 

Enough is enough. Sign the petition today to say no to fracking in national forests.
