Add Your Name Below to Help Protect Ancient Fen Wetlands

Fens are a rare type of “old-growth” wetland that play a crucial role in climate resilience and are renowned as biodiversity hotspots.

These wetlands take thousands of years to form and are impossible to restore to their original condition once damaged, and can quickly go from being a carbon sink to carbon source – making them an irreplaceable part of our natural heritage. However, fens lack the federal protections needed to remain intact and healthy in the face of threats including new dams, grazing, pollution, and other human disturbances.

Join forces with Wilderness Workshop, WildEarth Guardians and other allies in pressuring the Forest Service to safeguard these invaluable wetlands. Add your name to support our formal petition asking the Forest Service to provide stronger legal protections for fens!
