I have read with alarm Mike Hendrickson's post on the destruction of the Sax
Zim Bog. While I believe little can be done to stop logging on any private
land, further logging on public land within Sax Zim could be stopped with
legislative action. I urge concerned birders to call, write or e-mail their
legislators as well as members of the environment committees to stop this
travesty. Names, addresses, phone numbers & e-mail addresses can be found
at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/hmem.asp for members of the
House and at
http://www.senate.leg.state.mn.us/members/member_list.php?sort=a#header for
senators. The members of the senate environment committees are
