So What Do We Do Now?

As many of you know, just five days ago we had a tremendous outpouring of support from our community. Thank you to the more than 300 people who came in person and the several THOUSAND who watched our event online.

So what's next? 

We have spent the past few days researching the various options we have available to Save Jones State Forest. And with that we've come up with three "Essential Elements" moving forward. If the bill is not pulled in some manner we believe it should be amended to do the following:

1. PROTECT 100% OF THE FOREST
2. ANY FUTURE LEGISLATION IMPACTING THE FOREST REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY
3. PRESERVE THE TRUE INTENT OF THE FOREST AND BAN ANY FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

So What Should I Do Now?

First, continue to speak with Senator Creighton and make clear that these three items must be included in any amendment.

Second, contact the Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee and express your views on Senate Bill 1964.

​Want to Support Our Organization?

Support our movement by purchasing one of our Save Jones State Forest t-shirts. Proceeds from the sales of these shirts will be used to support Save Jones State Forest activities. At this time, we are collecting funds to pay for legal fees associated with filing for non-profit status, as well as supplies for raising awareness of SB 1964 and the threat to Jones State Forest.
