Weekend Plans in the Wild Siskiyou!
Saturday, February 26 - Sunday, February 27
Please support local organizing efforts in the Biscuit!
Thanks to everyone who has already contributed to the fresh momentum to halt the horrific logging plans in the wild Siskiyou. To stop logging and prevent further destruction of these sensitive ecosystems, Siskiyou supporters must participate in some capacity now. Volunteers are needed for forest watch, leading hikes, media and event coordination, and direct action.
This weekend several events in the the Illinois River Valley offer an opportunity to get involved and meet other organizers engaged in the campaign to protect the Wild Siskiyou. On Saturday the Biscuit Alliance is hosting an evening of live music, food, and speakers at the Takilma Community Center, near Cave Junction. The evening will feature music by Darryl Cherney and the Chernobles after a veggie dinner starting at 6 p.m. The next morning a group hike into a threatened forest will begin at 10.
For more information about the event, please check out the Biscuit Alliance web site. To make a donation or get more involved, please write kerul@o2collective.org.

If you can, come prepared to stay a few days, a week, a month or longer
to defend the Wild Siskiyou, help is definitely needed.
Please bring warm clothing and camping fear to stay warm and dry.
If you don't have gear, but do have enthusiasm, please come anyway!
If you have extra to donate - gear, clothes, money, food, etc. please bring them.
We have an ongoing need for citizen monitors.
Monitors drive around timber sales, documenting logging activity and preparation, as well as environmental conditions. Training and some gas money available. Monitors provide crucial information to attorneys and activists defending the Biscuit.
