| Activity Or Mission | Grassroots outreach and education of the public on California forest protection. We called for communications to elected officials to oppose the use of federal Inflation Reduction Act funds to establish a highly polluting wood pellet industry in California. We alerted our supporters to call for strengthening the draft National Old-Growth Amendment Draft Environmental Impact Statement covering the entire national forest system. We organized outreach to the federal Bureau of Land Management, demanding that it develop older forest protections per an earlier presidential executive order. We urged the U.S. Forest Service to streamline or replace its problematic CARA portal, which is supposed to facilitate the agency's receipt and processing of public comments. We called upon government officials to safeguard and strengthen the Northwest Forest Plan, which covers 24 million acres of federal forestland in California, as well as Oregon and Washington. | ActivityOrMissionDesc |

| Desc | We generated emails and letters that helped to defeat a scheme to establish for the first time a forest-destructive industry in California that would have exploited the state's forests to manufacture and export wood pellets for overseas electricity generation. On multiple fronts we opposed weakening of federal mature and old-growth forest protections and called for them to be strengthened. This targeted primarily the two largest U.S. land-management agencies with forest holdings under their jurisdiction. We pushed the Forest Service to revise and simplify the system (CARA) through which the public submits input on agency decisions, as provided by the law. We generated grassroots messages to save and strengthen the successful and forest-protective Northwest Forest Plan. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | Prior to filing, Form 990 is sent to the members of the governing body for review. The draft Form 990 received from our CPA is reviewed by the Executive Director and any questions he may have are resolved in consultation with our CPA, legal counsel and other outside experts in exempt-organization tax reporting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Individual Board members may not participate in the voting of any matter before the Board in which the member has a material direct personal interest which conflicts with the member's role as an objective governor. Such conflicts include instances in which the director is an active volunteer or staff person of any organization or company and has a substantive interest in an action by the Board regarding the organization's programs and/or campaigns.When such a conflict arises, a member must declare to the Board his or her conflict at the onset of action by the Board, if another member perceives a conflict, or as soon as he or she becomes aware of the conflict. The member may then choose to recuse himself or herself. If the member chooses not to recuse, the full Board will vote regarding whether or not to allow the member to participate in the relevant decision. Board members with a conflict of interest may participate in the deliberations but may not vote on the issue. The vote may be taken without the member with the conflict of interest present. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are all available to the public via copies provided upon request. |
