Stop ClarcuttingCA is a grassroots campaign, committed for over a decade to educating the public about clearcutting. This widely used timber harvesting technique replaces forests with industrial monoculture tree farms. It degrades forest floor soil and watersheds, decreases biodiversity, threatens wildlife, increases wildfire danger, accelerates climate change, and promotes environmental injustice. It harms us all. Learn more.

The StopClearcutting CA team also fights to preserve our remaining old-growth and mature trees and to stop the global expansion of the wood pellet and biomass incineration industries. Rather than relying on aggressive forest thinning to reduce wildfire risk, we advocate for less harmful and more proven strategies, like home and community hardening. Visit our Resources page to explore the science, news, and more about these issues and more.

If you love forests and the natural world and want to do more to help protect them, join us. We communicate virtually and appreciate whatever time you can give us. Volunteer Opportunities include our Communication, Social Media, and Writers Teams.

Our Social Media Team educates and engages our followers on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and Threads about forest ecosystems' benefits to climate stability, water supplies, mental health and well-being, and the devastating impacts of clearcut logging and the many other threats to forests.
