The Indiana Forest Alliance is a member of the National Forest Protection Alliance, which serves as a national network of organizations working to end commercial logging on public forests and redirect the Forest Service to ecological protection and restoration jobs and services.

Working with NFPA, the Indiana Forest Alliance works to educate the public, the media, and elected Representatives on the damage and waste associated with commercial logging. We support the passage of the National Forest Protection and Restoration Act as a solution.

More information on the problem of commercial logging on national forests and ways to take action can be found at the NFPA website .

Thanks to activists from IFA, Heartwood, Protect our Woods and others, the Hoosier National Forest has not conducted a timber sale since early 1998. The new Forest Plan allows "salvage logging" on the Hoosier National Forest. Two massive proposed timber sales, the German Ridge and the Oriole Project, plan to log and burn thousands of acres in the guise of restoration.
