Ohio: Not pleasing is Pleasant Bear Timber Sale on Wayne NF, letters needed!

The Wayne National Forest, in the waning throes of the
anti-environmental Bush administration is proposing a huge devastating
project. This project proposes some 1500 acres of uneven aged logging,
including group selection, which are mini-clearcuts, 675 acres of
shelterwood logging, which is even aged, two step clearcutting, 400
acres of out and out clearcutting, 1200 acres of crop tree release in
old clearcuts (because they aren’t regenerating as predicted when they
were cut), and 2266 acres of prescribed fire, and up to 550 acres of
herbicide use to control invasive species.

Please help us tell Bush
and the Forest Service NO, that we want CHANGE! We don’t want our
national forests logged, burned and sprayed – we want them protected.
Send in the letter now. For more information:
