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.

UPDATE! Logging Postponed Until August 2011

The Save Trapper campaign just got word that because of the lawsuit filed against the Forest Service in September, Seneca Jones timber company can not log Trapper until August 1st 2011! Now is the best time to show the Forest Service that we will not stand by and watch as the last of Oregon's old growth on public land is destroyed. Show your support for this endangered space by Sending a letter to the Forest Service and picking up a yard sign at the Bad Egg Info Shop, located at 112 E. 13th Ave in Eugene.
