A word of advice...

Form letters/Petitions do not work with the Forest Service.  When they get 
the same text from a bunch of different people they count it as one letter.  
You do not get the benefit of numbers by doing things that way.  If you 
really want to be heard, everyone that has an interest needs to take a 
moment to write their own individual message and send it.  Another good 
thing to do is make sure that your Congressmen are aware.  The Forest 
Service has to pay attention when they get a Congressional!

Just a little tip on getting the giant to listen :-)

Good Luck!
