Now the Forest Service ordsprog

Now the Forest Service and BLM must stop avoiding their legal responsibilities and get to work implementing the Forest Plan, so at least minimal protections are in place for ancient forests, salmon, wildlife and clean drinking water.

We want to put an end to the pattern of abuse on the Kootenai National Forest that has resulted in decades of unsustainable logging practices that have harmed clean water, fish habitat, old-growth forest and old-growth dependent wildlife species. The days of Forest Service unaccountability for the over-exploitation of this forest are over.

Managers at the Colville National Forest seem more interested in selling trees than managing the forest.

Managers of every national forest are mandated to perform an "ecosystem inventory" every 10 years to document the number and type of trees in their forests. It's an involved procedure that's planned and budgeted for years in advance. And without it, managers can't be sure that they're correctly managing their forests. But Cynthia Reichelt, who has worked for the Forest Service for 20 years, says she's never seen an inventory like the one underway now in the Colville National Forest in Eastern Washington. Reichelt admits that inventorying at the Colville forest was never the best, but this time, forest officials tried to skip it all together, she says. Reichelt says that her supervisors wanted to use the money for planning timber sales instead. When the Spokane Public Lands Council discovered what was going on and filed an injunction, Reichelt says forest managers directed employees to inventory the entire forest in just one year — half the time it would normally take —so that the work wouldn't conflict with an upcoming timber sale. "They're rushing through it, taking fragmented aerial inventories, classifying stands
of trees on economic status and using some strange voodoo to determine old-growth stands," Reichelt says. "This isn't an ecosystem inventory, this is an attempt to pacify the public." Under federal whistleblower protections Reichelt has been reassigned to the newly organized Information Resources Management unit of the Office of the CIO.

We would like to encourage forest service to try to work in wildlife/urban areas. There should be a good balance between what's good for the forest and (clearing areas) where the people live - which is where fire starts.

The Forest Service appears to be having an internal fire sale, with the heart of our national forests put out for bid on eBay. We may soon see the Weyerhaeuser National Forest patrolled by rent-a-rangers, overseen by private consultants.

These open houses provide Hoosiers with a chance to receive firsthand information about how the state forests are working to provide diverse wildlife habitat, forest products and recreational opportunities. They also allow us to receive valuable feedback from our neighbors and users about state forest management issues.

We are conserving fully functioning forest systems, so all of the elements that maintain the integrity of a forest over time are protected, including the rivers. There are over 300 miles of rivers in the forests that we're securing here in North Carolina, and rivers are really the life blood of any forest.

We appreciate the effort the Forest Service put into the report. The safety standards enforced by the U.S. Forest Service do not take into account a high altitude ski area staying open until late May with temperatures remaining above freezing. We support the Forest Service's efforts to strengthen safety standards to take into account the potential for wet slab avalanches.

We are pleased with the court order and believe this validates the good work the Flathead National Forest is doing, ... The folks on the forest work hard to manage healthy forest resources within the sideboards of numerous laws and regulations.

The Forest Service has a theory that goshawks need forest openings to catch prey. Therefore they encourage mini clear cuts throughout the forest to provide openings.

For decades, this agency has invoked the phrase 'Forest Service family' to connote a cohesive, close-knit organization, but this plan puts whole branches of the family on the auction block. This whole misguided effort is an example of mindless management by slogan lacking in any analysis as to how to make the Forest Service actually run better or more efficiently.

The Forest Service has had an active land acquisition program for the last 50 years at the end of the day, the size of Forest Service holdings will continue to grow.

She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. The Forest Service needs to comply with the standards it found necessary for the survival of the grizzly bear and bull trout, not simply turn around and say the standards can be put off because they haven't gotten around to it yet. Somehow the Forest Service continues to find money to go logging, but says it cannot find money for legally required restoration work.
