Jim LockhartBARK for Mt. Hood August 2007 Groundtruthing Hike: Eight Mile Timber Sale Logged

Eight Mile Timber Sale "Zombi" Hike
August 12th, 2007
BARK Hike Leader: Tarp Tamac

Dear Barkers,

This Monday a company called Southside Enterprises Inc. began logging the Eight Mile Meadow Timber Sale. Despite hundreds of letters asking the Forest Service to stop the logging plan, over a thousand hours in the field by the Groundtruthing team, and a lawsuit challenging the legality of the sale, 222 acres of forest will be clearcut in the coming weeks.

But the fact that the Forest Service ignored public concern should be no surprise. Eightmile Meadow Timber Sale is a categorical exclusion, or CE, meaning that the Forest Service was not required to analyze the environmental impacts of logging nor take the public's opinion into account. That is why no one knew about it when the Forest Service chose to double the volume of logging. That is why no one knew about it when the Forest Service chose to not only cut dead lodgepole pine but live western larch trees.
