Subject: Please support LD 993

Message:

I'm writing to ask for your support of LD 993, which proposes the creation of a Maine Forest Advisory Board. To ensure the health of our forests, we need to bring together different perspectives to share information and make recommendations about the best ways to sustain forests and their many benefits. The Forest Advisory Board would be crucial in addressing two pressing environmental challenges: climate change and biodiversity loss. Our forests play a vital role in protecting Maine's diverse wildlife and helping us mitigate climate change. Maine's forests are facing numerous threats, including invasive insects, disease, development pressures, and shifting markets for wood products. Fifteen states, including neighboring New Hampshire, have already established similar advisory boards to protect their forests. It's time for Maine to join them and take action to preserve our forests for future generations. By supporting LD 993, you can show your commitment to the well-being of our natural resources and the people who depend on them. Please support LD 993 to protect Maine's forests.
