Forest Defender Training Series: How to Submit a Public Comment

Hobart Bluff KS Wild

The Forest Service is currently in the process of updating the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) for the first time in 30 years, and they want to hear from you! In this training, we will walk you through the process of forming substantive comments and becoming involved in public lands decision-making.

Finalized in 1994, the plan covers 17 national forests totaling 24-million acres across western Washington, Oregon, and northern California. It has successfully improved the region’s streams and waterways, protected salmon and other wildlife habitat, and has protected vast quantities of old-growth forest.

We will provide you with sample language and suggestions to ensure your comment is as effective as possible. This is an opportunity to learn how to influence the actions of the Forest Service and to have your voice heard! The NWFP is the largest, science-based forest and ecosystem management plan in the country.

Food and drink available to purchase at Clyde’s Corner.

Bill that could have offered utilities protection from fire lawsuits gets fix

Oregon lawmakers on Tuesday tweaked a bill intended to increase fire mitigation to ensure it does not also offer utilities immunity from liability in lawsuits for wildfires ignited by power lines. The change to a single sentence in House Bill 3666 comes as a relief to some critics, who feared that giving utilities wildfire safety certificates that establish they’ve “acted reasonably” by state standards would in effect offer them absolute immunity from liability in lawsuits if their equipment causes a wildfire.
