I normally don't Ping without foreknowledge, but this looks ligit, and think we had better act now rather than later! So I took liberty of ping the heavy hitters that came to mind - PASS THE WORD!!!

This is serious, and is the real deal. It was upheld on appeal by the Chief of the Forest Service, and is now being reviewed by the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Rey. He may decide to uphold the Chief's decision, or not to uphold it. Once his decision is made, either way, the lawsuits will begin. This Sierra Nevada plan amendment will have sweeping effects to users and will be a "blueprint" for how other regions will do their forest planning. It will vastly reduce uses, except for recreational uses. Timber harvest and livestock grazing will suffer. The claim is the decision was based on "science", but don't be fooled. The panel of "scientists" had an agenda, the decision was political.

Thanks for posting this on the Cal Local page. This is very important to me.

More than political it will be INCREDIBLY destructive to the forests it is purported to protect. This plan has been opposed by virtually any decent scientific forester or fire ecologist of whom I am aware. It is a recipe for catastrophic fire, infestation by exotic weeds, and subsequent massive erosion. The system may NEVER recover.

Maybe this thread would get more attention if we could somehow link the Sierra Nevada plan amendment to Harry Potter.

Thanks for the ping. I sent the form letter followed up by an e-mail to Mark Rey. Mark is a former staffer for Senator Larry Craig...he's a good man... and a fellow forester if I remember right.

It's hitting us from every direction this week in So. Oregon. Bush and Norton MUST fire some of these bureaucrats. We are being ousted one acre at a time.

We had noticed that some local enviro's had been running ads recently for paid "activists". This morning one of the few areas left were being auctioned for logging on BLM land. Well, the enviro's showed up in the 100's, rushed the doors, blocked the timber people from entering. Last I heard 2 had been arrested. The enviro's managed to do a bunch of property damage also, tore up the bathrooms, etc. Looks like they got some Eugene Anarchist help. Will let you know more, when I hear.

Hi, got some batteries charged, so I'm back. We absolutely have to stand firm on things. The Clintonista's ilk are still there!

[Justanumba]

Thanks for the link. It makes it all so easy!

[Justanumba]

It is incredible how many posts Harry Potter gets, and then something as important as this just dies on the vine. Well, a bump for the future of the lands we all should care about.

[Justanumba]

Just wanted to thank you for your pings and add a bump!

[.38sw]

I also posted the link to this thread on the California local messages page. And a bump...

[Justanumba]

Thanks, you're a champ...:-)

Bruce Babbit will be speaking to a roomful of prospective environmental attorneys at Kresge Auditorium on the Stanford University Campus at 4:00 PM tomorrow.

It is my intent to be there and give him the warmest of FReeper welcomes. Anyone care to join me and ask a few pointed questions citing well-supported data? If you can't be there, how about a few prayers?
