Biscuit Fire Old Growth Reserves Face Imminent Logging
A court ordered injunction that prevented logging in seven timber sales has been lifted. As a result, sensitive old-growth reserves are now imminently threatened by the Fiddler, Steed, Berry, Wafer, Hobson, Lazy, and Briggs Six logging sales. The Forest Service is trying to saw through these sales before a court case on the legality of the logging can be heard by a judge on March 22nd. If logging proceeds, it could be completed before the court decides whether the logging is legal or not.
Don't let the Forest Service get away with this outrageous, unfair behavior.
Please take action today to protect our old-growth forest reserves.
Call Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski and Congressman Peter DeFazio.*
Tell them to:
1. Publicly ask the Forest Service NOT to log old-growth reserves in the Siskiyou until the scheduled court case can be heard.
2. Create a Siskiyou Wild Rivers National Conservation Area to protect and restore this special part of Oregon for future generations.
