SAVE OREGON'S ANCIENT FORESTS PETITION Find more videos like this on EQ CONNECT

Target: Bureau of Land Management, Western Oregon Plan Revisions Office, Members of U.S. Congress

Please protect remaining old-growth forests. We are very concerned with the direction the Bush Administration is headed with the mis-management of nearly 2.6 million acres of federal forests under the Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). The changes the BLM is contemplating will unravel the protections of the landmark Northwest Forest Plan. Your current proposal is unacceptable. The agency proposes to increase old-growth logging on public lands in western Oregon by 700%, build 1,000 miles of new logging road in the next decade and clearcut at a 9-1 ratio to thinning. You are managing these lands for all Americans, and future generations deserve a living legacy.
