Help protect healthy forests and clean water by keeping a proposed ban on horizontal fracking on the George Washington National Forest.
When the Forest Service proposed this ban in 2011, it drew tremendous support. Ten local governments and a great majority (95 percent) of 53,000 public comments encouraged the Forest Service to stick with its sensible limits on gas drilling.
Now, the US Forest Service is under intense pressure to abandon its proposal. But it’s not too late for the Forest Service to make the right decision.
Please ask Virginia’s Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine to support this proposal and to encourage the Forest Service to stand firm.

Let them know the well-considered ban would prevent the riskiest fracking on the forest and protect the headwaters of drinking sources for more than 4.5 million Virginians.
