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 have experience maintaining websites and want to help us enhance ours, we would love your assistance!

We are currently upgrading upgrading our website and help implementing the changes.

Other ways that the campaign communicates with the public and other Sierra Club members is through. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Threads, through letters to the editor, op-eds and blogs, building supportive relationships with other organizations, and sponsoring a monthly Forest Protection Forum.

Helpful skills for the webmaster:

• Comfortable in content management systems (like Wordpress, or like what we use, Drupal).
• Basic HTML editing skills would be extremely valuable, as they will be able to navigate the code when something isn't working as expected.
• Experience working in image archive systems like Canto (which is what Sierra Club uses), or with web accessibility standards
• Experience uploading videos to YouTube
