CRA and ten other group petitioned the Oregon Board of Forestry to reconsider their decision to increase logging on the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests. We argued that the Board of Forestry acted contrary to state law by ignoring scientific concerns and approving intensive clear cutting likely to harm salmon habitat.
State law requires the forest plan to “maintain, enhance, and restore” salmon habitat. The petitioners argue that state scientists’ 2009 analysis of the logging plans found that increased clear cutting would result in high risk watersheds for salmon.Here's a link to the full text of the Petition: Petition for Reconsideration June 2010 Final-2
