Be a Part of History - Make Ancient Forest Logging History

Grants Pass - USFS Station - Monday, October 4th - High Noon

Jamboree (jam'bo ree) n. 1. a carousal; any noisy merry-making. 2. a festive gathering, often including speeches and entertainment.

HUNDREDS will gather for a peaceful protest rally to stop the Biscuit Logging Project. Be ready to be roused, entertained, challenged and empowered.

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION has placed the Siskiyou Wild Rivers Area of southwestern Oregon on the chopping block with the largest logging project in U.S. history! The so-called Biscuit Post-Fire Recovery Project would cut down 19,000 acres of ancient forest reserves and roadless wildlands in one of the most biologically diverse forests in the world!
