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.
