Rally to Save
Old Growth
from the W.O.P.R
The ‘whopper’ is a BLM plan to increase clear-cutting
of old growth trees in our public forsets by a
‘whopping’ 700%!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Nowadays, it’s hard to get people to attend a rally. Two of us so much
want YOU to show up that we paid for this ad. Please attend and note:
It’s at the New Federal Building, not the old!
THE RALLY
(Webster’s defines ‘Rally’ as: ‘To summon or bring together for a
common purpose; to revive.’)
WE CALL FOREST LOVERS TO RALLY
PEACEFULLY AT THIS TIME AND PLACE:
WHEN: Friday, December 21, Twelve Noon to 1:30 p.m.
WHERE: The New Federal Building in Eugene. (405 East 8th,
corner of Ferry and E. 8th. Coming from 7th downtown, when
you must turn right or left at the bridge, go right.) Afterward,
we invite you to follow us to the BLM building at 2890 Chad,
near the intersection of Coburg Road and Chad by Costco,
where we will rally from 2:30 to 3:30)
WHAT: The BLM has announced several options for altering
their management of our public forest lands. Of those options,
they have chosen ‘Alternative Two’ as their ‘preferred option’.
That option would increase clear-cutting of old growth trees in
public forests by a whopping 700%. Rather than simply rally
against their preferred ‘Alternative Two’, we will rally for a
DECREASE IN THE CURRENT LEVEL OF LOGGING IN
PUBLIC FORESTS and an increase of O&C timber money to
counties from 50% to 75% to fund our schools.
BEWARE THE COMING
BLM FAKE COMPROMISE!
They asked for a 700% increase so that after the public comment period ends they
can ‘compromise’ by offering a lesser increase of ‘only’ 100%-300%. Write & tell
them no increase is accaptable: BLM, Box 2965, Portland, OR 97208. To receive
