Logging of Ancient Forests in Oregon

Documenting Forests in the area of Oregon covering Siskiyou National Forest, Rogue River, acts of logging and Biscuit fire. For the month of June 2004, Greenpeace, local activists, ecologists, and volunteers from around the world were gathered at our first Forest Rescue Station in the United States. The Rescue Station highlighted the proposed Kelsey-Whisky timber sale, which threatens over 46,000 acres of roadless area. Hundreds of visitors and volunteers joined us to take nature hikes and participate in workshops on forest defense.
