Restoration or Exploitation? Post-fire Logging in America's National
Forests
American Lands has released a new report, Restoration or Exploitation?
Post-fire Salvage Logging in America's National Forests. The report sheds
light on the myriad ecological impacts this damaging form of logging causes
to our natural heritage, as well as significant economic costs to the
American taxpayer.
The report is available at:
http://www.americanlands.org/SALVAGE_REPORT_FOR_WEB.pdf
A printable version of the report is available at:
http://www.americanlands.org/SALVAGE_REPORT_FOR_WEB.pdf
The report is timed to coincide with the release of the Biscuit Fire
Recovery Project Draft EIS, which has proposed record-breaking logging for
forests affected by the 2002 Biscuit fire.
The Biscuit Fire in southern Oregon burned through one of the largest
expanses of roadless wildlands left along the West coast. The fire burned
through much of the Siskiyou National Forest, a hotspot of biodiversity
recently proposed as a World Heritage site and a National Monument. Now,
the Biscuit Fire Recovery Project is becoming the largest Forest Service
timber sale proposal in U.S. history. The preferred alternative for the
Biscuit would log 518 million board feet which is approximately half of
the post-fire timber volume nation wide. The proposed timber sale could
result in irreversible loss of 57,000 acres in the North and South
Kalmiopisis Inventoried Roadless areas, making this one of the largest
roadless area logging assaults in all 50 states.
The report not only highlights the significant ecological and economic
costs
associated with post-fire logging, but also provides current examples of
ten
of the most devastating post-fire timber sale proposals being developed by
the U.S. Forest Service following the Bitterroot, Biscuit, Hayman, McNally,
Missionary Ridge, Red Star, Rodeo-Chediski, Tiller /Apple, and Toolbox
fires.
Below is a link to a media tip sheet about the report that you can modify
and send to your reporter contacts to generate stories about post-fire
logging and sales that you are fighting. Also available are talking points
on post-fire logging that can be used when talking to press.
We hope that this report will be a useful tool for your work and will help
you educate press and elected officials about the destructive impacts of
post-fire logging.
