In western Oregon, the Bureau of Land Management proposes a new Resource Management Plan without a single public meeting and with one goal: To quadruple the logging volume on Western Oregon BLM forests, returning these public lands to the “robust” levels of the 1960s and 1970s.
The plan would open nearly 2 million acres to clearcutting with no protections for remaining old-growth, writes Pepper Trail, and the public only has 30 days to provide comment.
