:: Monday, May 19, 2003 ::
May 23 Thru 27 Western EF! Rendezvous 2003 Public lands all over the western US are being logged under the guise of fuels and hazard reduction and 'forest health.' Their philosophy is that if you log it, it won't burn. In reality, cutting the largest trees for commercial value increases fire severity. Fire suppression, commercial interests and manufactured hysteria all contribute to the continued logging of ancient forests. We believe that fire is a natural process that the forests require to build strength, resilience and diversity. We invite you to join us and learn more about fire ecology, salvage impacts and forest defense.
Controversial logging bill headed to Senate floor Timber industry and labor union leaders cheered approval of the bill.
"This legislation strikes a sensible balance between environmental concerns and the social and economic realities for forest products workers, including tens of thousands of our members across the nation," said Doug McCarron, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.------------------------------------------- posted 8:34 AM :: reference link ::
