I respectfully request that the Santa Fe National Forest prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that fully complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in regard to the tree cutting and burning program for the scenic 107,000 acre forest on the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo mountains above Santa Fe known as the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed. The EIS must evaluate alternatives that protect roadless areas, wildlife populations, soil, water, and the ecological integrity of the forest using the best available science.

I further request that the Santa Fe National Forest halt all tree clearing projects in the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed until an EIS has been completed and the public fully informed and involved in the process.
