Victory for Umpqua Watersheds and Partners!
On November 6, 2006, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Roseburg and Medford BLM Districts acted illegally in its attempts to log more old-growth in the Cow Creek watershed, near Riddle and Glendale. The Cow Catcher (Roseburg BLM) and Cotton Snake (Medford BLM) old growth timber sales were stopped. The court found that the BLM failed to conduct public review before dropping protections for a rare species, the red tree vole. Within a few days of this ruling letters came from the BLM announcing that all old growth sales on the Umpqua had been halted; Green Thunder, Dickerson Heights, Myrtle Morgan, Screen Pass, Brown Elk and Pleasant Yankee. Thanks to all of you who wrote comments and worked to protect our old-growth forests!
