Calling All Forest Crimes Units! Biscuit Auction Friday!

Speak Out to Bidders and the US Forest Service Friday, 9:30 a.m. at USFS Medford Supervisor's office: 8th & Holly, downtown Medford. Oxygen Collective Bus to give rides from Ashland, will leave Evo's at 9am.

Greenpeace and Oxygen Collective are calling on all Forest Crimes Units to gather at the US Forest Service office in downtown Medford on Friday at 9:30 a.m.. We will be there to protest the first of several Biscuit auctions, scheduled to sell off five "emergency" timber sales. The sales will be auctioned in the following order: Indie (10 a.m.), Berry (11 a.m.), Fiddler (1 p.m.), Flat Top (2 p.m.) and Cedar (after 2). All of these areas are within delicate and unique ecosystems in Southwestern Oregon.

Props like those used in previous demonstrations will help to create visible messages, and please don't forget to wear your Forest Crimes Unit shirt. Organizers will provide Forest Service maps for the five timber sales and specific information about the companies bidding on our public lands. In addition, Dan Vest--who folks may remember from last week's rally has reserved Alba Park (across the street from our meeting point) for a pro-salvage rally at 9 a.m. ( http://gwauction.com/071604.html)

Priscilla, the O2 Collective biodiesel bus will leave at 9 a.m. from Evo's Java House in Ashland for those who want a ride to Medford!
Anyone with questions or suggestions can call Kerul at 541.261.1050 or write kerul@o2collective.org for more information.

SEE YOU THERE!
