The Bush Administration's Biscuit Fire "Preferred Alternative" is an Extreme Answer to a Natural Event
Largest Forest Service Timber Sale in Modern Times:
* Logs 370 Million Board Feet of trees on about 19,500 acres (30.41 sq. miles) of National Forest.
* Over 70,000 log trucks would still be needed to haul the trees to the mills. Positioned end-to-end, they would almost stretch along the Pacific Coast from the Mexican border to the Canadian border.
Politics push the Envelope:
* The Siskiyou National Forest went from a reasonable proposal to an extreme roadless area logging plan after a Logging Study financed by Douglas County Commissioners (Oregon) was submitted to the Forest Service.
* The Forest Service took the unprecedented step of accepting this "old school" log, plant and spray plan as new information, slowing the time-sensitive DEIS process by months.
Massive attack on Northwest Forest Plan's Old Growth Reserves
* Logs about 6,303 acres (173 million Board Feet) from Late-Successional Reserves which are designated for the protection of old-growth forests, wildlife habitat and biological diversity.
* A 36,000 acre study area under the guise of a scientific experiment ("Logging for Learning" research project).

You scum bags had better stay away from the Biscuit Salvage Sale. Some of us who depend on Logging need this sale to stay alive. We will not tolerate any illegal tree-sitters or protesters who try and stop this sale. Stay out of our way. You best stay in the Redwood region where you are safe !
If a person is not outraged at the rate of rape of our forest, then that person is not paying attention!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
