Center For Biological Diversity: Protect Old-growth Forests in Oregon
In 1994 the Northwest Forest Plan was created to protect much of the region's last remaining old-growth, as well as to set aside millions of acres to help previously clearcut forests recover. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management abandoned the plan in 2016 and began to log mature and old-growth forests aggressively under the first Trump administration. Now, still not satisfied, the second Trump administration has proposed a new plan to more than quadruple the amount of logging to 2.5 million acres of public land in western Oregon. Tell the BLM to scrap this logging plan HERE.
