"Salvage Appeal" radio episode

Title

"Salvage Appeal" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003, which claimed to improve forests and reduce wildfires by thinning out trees. AuCoin says the act instead allows logging companies to profit. Doctor Jerry Franklin of the Univeristy of Washington gave Congress data on how intact forests in fact increase wildlife diversity. 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 2003 or 2004.
