Make Ancient Forest Logging History!

Siskiyou Wild Rivers, Oregon
Monday, October 4th

HUNDREDS will gather for a peaceful protest rally to stop the Biscuit Logging Project. The specifics of the event will be posted at http://www.forestadvocate.org, and on the rally hotline (541) 482-2640.

WHY?
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION has placed the Siskiyou Wild Rivers Area of southwestern Oregon on the chopping block with the largest logging project in U.S. history! The so-called Biscuit Post-Fire Recovery Project would cut down 19,000 acres of ancient forest reserves and roadless wildlands in one of the most biologically diverse forests in the world!
