Resist logging in Oregon's old-growth forests

[chestnut_pod]

The BLM has announced a plan to log to the "maximum" in some of the last old-growth forests on the West Coast. A period of public comment is open.

Here is a long explainer on why these lands are important, and why the proposal is ineffective in its stated aim of fire-prevention and destructive to human communities and the whole surrounding ecosystem.

This is the project number: DOI-BLM-ORWA-0000-2026-0001-RMP-EIS

Here is the notice of intent.

Public comment is open for 26 more days.

Comment made. Just considering this policy is an appalling offense to the environment.

Thank you!

Comment made. I focused my comment on the damage this will do to Oregon communities (that depend on forests to filter their water and prevent erosion from dropping mudslides on their head)
