"Biscuit Fire; salvage logging plan" radio episode
-
Description
-
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on backlash towards the US Forest Service for their overestimation of salvageable timber following the Biscuit fire. Independent forest ecologists assert that planting dense, even-aged conifer trees after logging often burned much worse and more easily compared to natural timber stands. AuCoin states how Oregon Senator Ron Wyden had been urging the Forest Service to release a report on the damage which would be included in the final environmental impact statement of the Biscuit salvage. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2002 or 2003
