To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's prized old growth forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). There could be no worse time to log the rest of our old growth forests in the O & C tracts what with the extremes in weather-- from flooding to droughts from global warming --and the huge risks of replanting failures and infestations brought on by warming trends, root loss that creates massive mud slides and siltation affecting water quality and quantity. Better that we should receive monetary global warming credits for NOT CUTTING THESE MASSIVE OLD TREES. This misguided plan is a prescription for further decline in the functions that the healthy diverse native forests produce for our region and for the world.....things like water quality, habitat, water sequestration in the forests throughout the hot seasons as well as the sequestration of carbon in these huge old trees. This foolish proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE GIVE MONETARY CREDIT TO THE VALUES THAT COME FROM INTACT OLD-GROWTH FORESTS, EVALUATING THEIR LIVING IMPORTANCE OVER THEIR SHORT TERM TIMBER/STUMPAGE VALUE. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources.

To whom it may concern: Why do we persist in forgetting that the forests are in the front line of atmospheric carbon removal? The forests are a key factor in removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and returning Oxygen. The carbon is stored in the wood. Thus, allowing proliferation, or at least sustaining the forests is a painless way to help reduce the "carbon debt." Instead, we ponder ways to spend billions in the task and at the same time greed dictates that the forests go down for the private profit of the timber companies.

To whom it may concern: As a new Oregon resident of 2+ years I have noticed first-hand the relentless clear-cutting of forests and the resulting damage from run-off, mudslides, and undermining the roadbeds of various state highways. I can't stand by and let this continue. I'm writing to you (and pleading) for some intervention and a modicum of common sense. Don't let the Oregon forests become a wasteland.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming.

Dear BLM, I have been educating myself about the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Western Oregon Plan Revisions and I need to inform you that I am extremely disturbed by the impact this proposed plan will have on my home state of Oregon. I grew up and have raised a family here. I spend most of my free time hiking in the majestic forests of Western Oregon, from the Ridgeline Trail in my hometown of Eugeneto Mt.Hardestyand Mt.Juneon the South Willamette Trail. I have watched the salmon spawning in the North Fork of the SmithRiver. I recognize that the future of my children, my unborn grandchildren, and countless generations depend on the health of the land. The water quality, the plenitude of salmon, the existence of forests to combat global warming-all of these will affect whether Oregon continues to be a land of abundance or a land with fewer and fewer of its natural resources remaining. My husband is a contractor and he recently completed building our own home. We used a lot of wood in the construction of our house and we both recognize that there is a need for timberland to support a healthy economy. Yet, the BLM proposal does not seem to consider the long-term effects of its logging practices. We need to find sustainable ways to utilize out timberlands. We need to use methods that do not leave our forests at the mercy of ravaging forest fires. It is imperative that we leave old growth for future generations. Can you imagine a child growing up in Oregonwho cannot experience being in an old growth forest; who can't have the experience of looking up at a 200 year old tree; who can't catch a glimpse of a bird or animal whose home is in the forest? There can be a win/win solution for this state. The Northwest Forest Plan is such a solution. It is a landmark agreement that private, state and federal landowners rely on to protect threatened old growth species while producing timber in compliance with environmental law. Please consider the devastating effects of your proposed plan. The government's role is to protect and safeguard that which works for the well being of all of us-not just for a few. Will you be able to answer to your own grandchildren? Thank you for your consideration. The future of this amazing state of Oregonis in your hands. Most Sincerely, Molly Wilson 2677 Onyx St. Eugene, OR 97403 wilson.molly@comcast.net |

To whom it may concern: I can't believe I even have to write this letter in the first place. Did our leaders ever hear of global warming??? Every nation in the world seems to know about it, but our administration still thinks it's really cool to cut down ancient forests. Forests that could save the planet. WAKE UP!!!!!!! What's good for "big business" (in this case., the lumber industry) is NOT always good for life on earth. And what good is all the money in the world, when the world is uninhabitable??? In short: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

| EM-4453 | Margie james <mfn_james@efn.org> | public comment on WOPR | 1/7/2008 22:18:48 | To Whom it may concern; it concerns me:
The BLM Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR) is not the answer to the multitude of problems that face communities/counties in Oregon that have been timber dependent for too many years. The problem stems from lack of foresight and courage and the willingness to take action by the Oregon legislature and the federal government to compensate for lands that cannot be "managed" as they once were or maybe abused is a better description. Even if WOPR were to be implemented with the "favored" plan, it would be a short-term solution for a long-term problem and at what cost? We need to develop sustainable economies for these communities that may include jobs in the woods that help create and maintain forest health and vitality, that enhance animal and fish habitat, etc. It also may require attitude adjustments among the citizenry, which could include job retraining and stronger incentives to attract new businesses/industries. The federal government has an obligation to help with this transition to sustainability that is not totally dependent on the forest. Perhaps the 'mission' for O&C lands needs to be changed to reflect the changing climate, both environmental and social. We've now more than reached that critical point of not going back to something that once appeared to work. We know too much about ecosystems and as we destroy the systems/habitats of plants and animals we destroy our own habitat. We do not live in a vacuum; nor are we more valuable than other elements. Another issue that cannot be ignored is who stands to gain the most from implementation of the preferred WOPR plan? It is corporations/mills. Mills and logging operations have mechanized so the number of jobs that would be available are less than what once was. I would also suspect that employee remunerations are also less than in the past. Change is not always easy but it is time to think outside the box and it is time for elected officials to find the courage to stand up for all of us, plant and animal, including humans. The federal government has a responsibility to be involved in this discussion and be ready to compensate for these lands and not by encouraging short-term solutions that continue to damage our planet.

To whom it may concern: I am writing in opposition to the BLM's attempt to put our nation's beloved forests at-risk through the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This misguided and unacceptable plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) and threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. Without the NWFP, we could see a return to logging of ancient forests and the degradation of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. This proposal would take us backwards to the days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy, and would fail to provide real stewardship of these resources. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is simply an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. I am also concerned that the proposal fails to appreciate how important these intact forests are in helping to slow global warming. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home.

To whom it may concern: Earlier this summer, the Salem District BLM Manager stopped participating in our stewardship contracting group, Marys Peak Stewardship Group. Endorsed by the State Office--this nonparticipation in progress--this not wanting to move forward is clearly demonstrated in BLM's minimal participation in the NWFP to date, and now more so by the Administration's decision to partner up with timber interests and move backward in forest resource protection with WOPR planning. Technically not even a plan revision, this entirely different plan abandons science and current knowledge of the limits of sustainable management practice and goes entirely beyond the bounds of reason and into the assumptions of the stone-age, albeit with bulldozers, chainsaws and trucks. Under the preferred option, there will be no parts to the puzzle, even in these now isolated fragments, with which we will be able to reconstruct a resilient Northwest forest ecosystem again. Not even reasonable green tree retention in clearcuts resembling nothing other than strip mines. Please do not allow the destruction of our old-growth forest heritage to be our legacy, and rewrite this plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home. Or else throw out this WOPR of a mistake. No one needs it, and certainly not Benton, Polk or Yamhill counties in Oregon--there is no economic gain, as clearly stated in the WOPR. How many more dreadful mistakes are you willing to allow this Administration to create? Dead and maimed service men and women, poisoned air and water, abandoned infrastructure, denuded landscapes too? Sincerely, Jim Fairchild 31540 Homestead Road Philomath, OR 97370 |
