Putting Clean Water and Old Growth Forests Before Profits
The 157-acre Trapper timber sale, located on the McKenzie District of the Willamette National Forest, threatens the clean water supply of Eugene and Springfield, as well as some of the last native and old growth forests in Oregon. Seneca Jones, a Eugene-based timber company, bought rights to the trees in 1999. The sale has been controversial ever since.
We are an all-volunteer group of citizens working to support the current legal battle to save Trapper by spreading public awareness and pressuring the Forest Service to drop the sale and protect Oregon's clean water and old growth forests. Click the button to the right to tell the Forest Service what you think about logging old growth on public land! Click Get Involved to learn more ways show your support for the campaign.
Rally To Save Trapper on Saturday! Meet at Kesey Square at noon!
On Saturday, Sept. 4 at noon in Kesey Square, there will be a march/ rally to our Representative Peter Defazio's office, on the other side of Saturday Market. It's time time to let our representatives know that they can not sell our native forests to the highest bidder at the loss of our regional watershed, the McKenzie River. Logging could start any day; look for updates here.
