Demonstrate your opposition to the Biscuit logging Sales! (Portland)

Thousands of Acres of Endangered Forests Under Threat!
Tuesday, February 8, 12:00 Noon
Forest Service Region 6, 333 SW First, Downtown Portland

Demonstration to protect remaining endangered forests in the Siskiyou National Forest. Wear your favorite costume and bring a noisemaker! It's Fat Tuesday!

Thousands of acres of sensitive old-growth reserves are now imminently threatened by the Fiddler, Steed, Berry, Wafer, Hobson, Lazy, and Briggs Six logging sales. These Biscuit logging sales would degrade the well-known Fiddler Mountain/Babyfoot Lake area and the Fall Creek Trail in the Siskiyou National Forest.

The Forest Service is trying to saw through these sales before a court case on the legality of the logging can be heard by a judge on March 22nd. If logging proceeds, it could be completed before the court decides whether the logging is legal or not.

Despite restrictions on winter logging, the Forest Service is colluding with logging companies and rushing to log our old-growth reserves.

Don?t let the Forest Service get away with this outrageous, unfair behavior. Please take action today to protect our old-growth forest reserves.
