Bureau of Land Management Asks Greenpeace to Leave Public Lands Within 48 Hours
We met with the Bureau of Land Management this morning, and they have asked us to leave our location in the Zane Grey roadless area of Klamath Siskiyou region of Southern Oregon.
The Forest Rescue station is also within the proposed Kelsey Whisky timber sale area. The Kelsey-Whisky is of particular importance because it is surrounded by more than 46,000 acres of roadless area, filled with old-growth trees. In addition, over 90% of the public comments sent to the BLM about this sale were opposed to it, yet the sale is still moving ahead.
They've asked us to leave the area within 48 hours.
How can we in the local area be of best help?
Hi there,
You can come up to the Rescue Station and say hello to all of us who have been up here. We're still located in the Zane Grey Roadless Area, and lots of people have joined us within the last few days.
Come Learn about the area, and meet other community members who, too, are concerned.
Bring your families this weekend, as there will be workshops and hikes.
Also, we ask for folks to write letters to the editor in support of ending commercial logging of our ancient forests on public lands.
Thanks, and we hope we get to meet you soon.
Posted by: Denise at June 19, 2004 08:10 PMHow do I get up to the minute info about the status of the camp before driving a long distance to get there?
Has the camp been disolved or moved?
For whose benefit is the logging taking place? Is it the long term interest of the community and the world, or the short term profit of the loggers?
Stop it!!

I'm hoping this will somehow and at sometime loop itself back to Ant. Ant it's Natalie and John out here in Massholechusetts, we heard about your acting from Sarah D.
We are SO proud of you and glad you're out there doing this shit for all of us.
Whodathunk CNR (JA's continually getting in trouble herself saving the trees...) would end up being such a kick %ss team, thanks for what you do.
