About a year and half ago, we did an episode on a Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, timber sale in Southern Oregon called Poor Windy, as part of our Worth More Standing series highlighting some of the biggest threats to mature and old growth forests on public lands.
Recently, community activists set up a tree sit in an old growth grove that was targeted for logging within the Poor Windy sale, and within weeks, they were able to get the BLM to withdraw part of that sale! To talk about the tree sit and the victory, I’m joined by Grace Warner of Siskiyou Rising tide.
But first we’ll hear a short excerpt of my interview with George Sexton from Klamath-Siskiyou Wild from that previous episode, which helps set the scene and context of the issues I’ll be discussing with Grace.
You can find the earlier Poor Windy episode, and our entire catalogue, for free on any podcast app or at our website, coastrange.org.
