UPDATE ON FRENCHES DOME LOGGING PLAN

On October 29 of last year, we reported on a new Forest Service plan to log a two thousand acre section of the ZigZag National Forest.  The "Horseshoe Sale" was directly adjacent to a number of highly valued trails and important recreation sites, including the Frenches Dome climbing area.

Forest Service watchdog group BARK recently announced that the Horseshoe Sale has been withdrawn.  According to Alex Brown, BARK's executive director, the sale "was withdrawn faster than any sale in Mt. Hood's history -- a testament to the disconnect between the Forest Service's timber program and the public's expectations for our forests."
