Last chance—We are NOT being heard!

Rally at Wayne National Forest Headquarters
Wednesday, May 23, 4:00 p.m.

Last chance to save our water Last chance to save our local economy!

We have gotten word that the Wayne intends to move ahead with releasing land for oil and gas leasing with “strict” permit stipulations —ODNR and BLM regs!

Any leasing will threaten our public drinking water supplies, air quality*, tourism, bike path, local food economy and safety.

We must convince Supervisor Carey that this is NOT OKAY with Southeast Ohio residents.

We will deliver 500+ signatures on petitions calling for an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of horizontal hydraulic fracturing on the Wayne with full public input.

POTLUCK picnic after our rally. Please bring your own table service and beverage, a dish to share, and blankets or chairs.

Meet at Athens Community Center solar lot at 3:40 p.m. if you’d like to carpool. Or join us at Wayne headquarters on U.S. 33 between Athens and Nelsonville.

If you haven’t signed our spring petition to the Wayne and would like to electronically, please send your name and address to heather.cantino@gmail.com. Please continue to send your letters to Anne Carey (addresses at acfan.org) and to the press. Thank you! If you would like to speak briefly, please rsvp to Heather by e-mail or at 740-594-3338.

Please join us for a strong community turnout! Numbers matter.
