New Roads Mean Old-Growth Logging

George, our Conservation Director, visits the Salmon Run timber sale in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Grants Pass shows us what new BLM logging road creation means...and it's old-growth logging. Here, an old-growth ponderosa pine is conveniently in line with a new road proposal. While the Forest Service limits the size of their new logging roads to roughly 15ft in width, the BLM doubles that and takes any trees (old-growth or not) in its way, including these two old-growth ponderosa pines.
