Oregon timber industry welcomes Trump win
By DYLAN DARLING
The Register-Guard
EUGENE — When he
visited Eugene last spring,
Donald Trump promised
to revive Oregon’s timber
industry, which for decades
has been hamstrung by
severe curbs against logging
in federal forests west of the
Cascades summit.
“Timber jobs (in Oregon)
have been cut in half since
1990,” he said during his May
6 stump speech to a revved-up
crowd at the Lane Events
Center. “We are going to bring
them up, folks, we are going
to do it really right, we are
going to bring them up, OK?”
Trump
didn’t
offer
specifics as to how — or how
much — he would revive
logging and milling, but he
alluded to loosening federal
restrictions.
Now, Trump supporters
and critics in Oregon will see
if he can live up to his promise.
Trump’s election as pres-
ident brings optimism to the
state timber industry and acute
uneasiness to environmental
groups that have fought for
decades to ensure that logging
on federal lands complies with
federal environmental law.
Both sides now wonder
if and how Trump’s admin-
istration and Republican
lawmakers might seek to
weaken long-standing key
environmental laws, such as
the Endangered Species Act,
reports The Register-Guard.
Enforcement of that law and
the National Environmental
Policy Act were key in the
late 1980s and early 1990s
to halting the intensive,
widespread logging that had
prevailed for decades on
federal forests in western
Oregon, western Washington
and northern California.
The Northwest Forest Plan,
implemented by the Clinton
administration in 1994, has
severely restricted logging
on federal lands in the region
ever since.
But undoing the Northwest
Corrections
The East Oregonian
works hard to be accu-
rate and sincerely regrets
any errors. If you notice
a mistake in the paper,
please call 541-966-0818.
Forest Plan and rolling back
environmental laws are not
necessarily easy tasks — even
with a Republican in the White
House and a GOP-controlled
House and Senate.
Timber interests in Oregon
welcome Trump as president.
“We’re cautiously opti-
mistic it’s going to present
some opportunities for us
to put people back to work
in rural communities and
certainly to improve the
health of our forest,” said
Jim Geisinger, executive vice
president of the Associated
Oregon Loggers. “For the
last two decades, we’ve just
seen too many catastrophic
wildfires, too many mills
close, too many rural commu-
nities fall apart socially and
economically, and I think
this will be an opportunity to
restore some of that.”
The Salem-based trade
association represents 1,000
logging companies in Oregon.
For 40 years, Geisinger
has been a voice for logging
in the state, traveling to
Washington, D.C., to speak
about how federal policies
affect the industry.
The worry among environ-
mental groups contrasts the
optimism of timber interests
in regards to how Trump and
the officials he appoints will
manage public forests.
Possibilities for agriculture
secretary, who oversees the
U.S. Forest Service, include
Texas Agriculture Secretary
Sid Miller, and possibilities
for interior secretary, who
oversees the Bureau of Land
Management, include former
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and
Lucas Oil co-founder Forrest
Lucas, according to news
reports. All of them lean
toward resource extraction
rather than preservation.
Federal forests in Western
Oregon are split between the
Forest Service and the BLM.
When they say “Close game!”
and you say “It’s supposed to rain?”
“We don’t think Trump
has a mandate to weaken
environmental
protections
or return to old-growth
clearcutting on public lands,”
Arran Robertson, spokesman
for Oregon Wild, wrote in
an email Friday. The Port-
land-based nonprofit group
advocates for old-growth
protection.
“Clearly, those were
not major issues in the
presidential campaign,” he
wrote. “However, there are
certainly folks in the logging
industry who feel the time is
ripe to repeal the Endangered
Species Act, Clean Water
Act, etc. ... and prioritize their
interests in public lands over
other values (like tourism and
recreation, clean drinking
water and wildlife).”
For decades, environ-
mental groups brought and
won lawsuits based on the
Endangered Species Act, the
Clean Water Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act and
other environmental laws.
“Everything appears to
be on the table at this point,”
said Josh Laughlin, executive
director of environmental
group Cascadia Wildlands in
Eugene. “I would like to think
that the decades of progress
that have been made, in terms
of safeguarding the values
that these unique landscapes
in the Northwest and that the
laws provide, will be upheld
through the power of the
people.”
Both senators and four out
of five Oregon congressmen
are Democrats. U.S. Rep.
Greg Walden, R-Hood River,
is the lone Republican repre-
senting Oregon.
Some in the past have
carefully calibrated their
positions, calling for more
logging on federal lands, but
also increased environmental
protections — two seemingly
contradictory goals.
“Sen. (Ron) Wyden will
continue to stand up for
clean air and clean water,
will keep working to find real
solutions to bring jobs back
to rural areas and continue
fighting to protect Oregon’s
and the nation’s treasured
public lands,” Keith Chu, a
spokesman for the Oregon
Democrat, wrote in an email.
