Subject: Protect Oregon's Forests
Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.
Sincerely,

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that

In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most

Subject: Stop cutting down the Forests!
Dear Planners:
Below is the standard letter that we were asked to send. I wholeheartedly agree with what is said
but I wanted to add my two cents. We need to stop bowing to all of the lumber needs and start
pushing these building companies to start using smarter resources. Instead of allowing yet more
logging in these pristine areas, why not offer tax incentives to companies that start their own
renewable resource forests. We can't afford to keep losing all of these trees, especially with the
global warming problems we are facing. Please think smart and do what is best for the world and
not just for some deep pockets in some big company.

BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for

endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;

BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states.
Growing up in Seattle afforded me and my family the good fortune to frequently visit this area
and enjoy the many recreational opportunitues it affords. I particularly remember the awe I felt
at the size of the trees. As an adult I also see the forests of coastal and southwestern Oregon in
another light---as an area of great environmental diversity, as one of the rare areas to visit
old-growth trees, and as a valuable resource for the protection of our dwindling wild salmon
runs.
These public lands continue to be enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering
old growth, clean water and abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests
provide to its visitors and should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has an obligation to the citizens of this country, who are the true owners of this beautiful
and valuable area, to protect the valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests.
However, WOPR does not demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather
a degeneration of management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To
properly manage the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that

Dear Planners:
I urge you to lead in valuing and protecting trees, especially old growth and established forests,
and their wild life and clean water supplies. I believe the Oregon forests should remain
protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM should value the long term wilderness over short term logging interests. The world needs
to find alternative sources of building materials (bamboo? etc.) and sustainably plant forests for
lumber. This will allow our planet, and all inhabitants, to thrive.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
As the taxpayer who supports the salaries of BLM workers and officials, I demand that your
policies reflect the desire of most Americans that our wilderness areas be preserved, not sold to
corporate interests. Develop plans that have long range targets or wildlife habitat preservation
and wilderness preservation. Shortrange corporate interests do nothing but despoil areas.

endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness

If only we still carried the ideals of Teddy Roosevelt, who believed that "the nation behaves well
if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased,
and not impaired, in value." Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the
low mountains of the coast and southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous

"God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand
straining, leveling tempests and floods but He cannot save them from fools." (John Muir) I
would like to think we can trust the BLM not to act foolishly.

southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.

demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.

Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that

endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.
BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness

BLM has the opportunity to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Oregon state and protect the
valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not
demonstrate BLM's responsibility as a steward of its lands, but rather a degeneration of
management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, BLM should:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon instead of reverting back to 1970s forest management style of old
growth logging;
- Look at all of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and wilderness
rather than just the value of currency in exchange for old growth logging;
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously considers and evaluates an alternative that
protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional reserves and aquatic
protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative should expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness
proposals, such as the Wild Rogue proposal submitted to BLM.
Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands and
develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of good stewardship.

Dear Planners:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR).
Home to some of the most spectacular forests in the country, the low mountains of the coast and
southwest Oregon are covered by rain-drenched coniferous forests that offer scenic views and
provide some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states. These public lands
are enjoyed by the young and old alike who seek out the towering old growth, clean water and
abundant recreational opportunities that Oregon's western forests provide to its visitors and
should remain protected under the Northwest Forest Plan.

the valuable resources that exist in western Oregon's public forests. However, WOPR does not

management that ignores the values of stewardship and land preservation. To properly manage
the many resources of the western Oregon public forests, the BLM must:
- Preserve the rare, remaining old growth and protect key watersheds to help restore the
endangered Pacific salmon, instead of reverting back to the 1970s forest "management" style of
old growth logging;
- Look at ALL of the values of our land: water quality, recreation, timber, wildlife and
wilderness, rather than only the amount of currency in exchange for old growth logging; and
- Manage our land to protect the quality of life these special places provide us and the economic
advantage provided by living close to and enjoying these public forests.
The BLM's alternatives, as presented in the WOPR DEIS, do not reflect the values held by most
Oregonians and Americans for protecting what is special about our public lands. I request that
you develop a supplemental DEIS that seriously, honestly and logically considers and evaluates
an alternative that protects all remaining old growth forests and keeps the late successional
reserves and aquatic protections currently in place with the Northwest Forest Plan intact.
In addition, this supplemental alternative must expand and maximize recommendations for
protecting areas for their wilderness qualities and give utmost consideration to wilderness

Please protect remaining old growth forests, focus on restoration management of BLM lands,
and develop a supplemental DEIS that reflects the values of the important responsibility of good
stewardship.
