The U.S. Forest Service is taking objections to a decision it has already drafted here. Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington.
The agency files it as “Little White Salmon Forest Resiliency and Fire Risk Mitigation Project”
No photograph has been filed on this mission yet. The first one lands here with its fingerprint, where its location came from, and how far inside the agency’s own boundary it was taken. The places to check are below.
The agency has published no document here with a sentence a photograph could settle, only a notice. The line below is read from that notice.
Walk the older forest in the Little White Salmon country on the Gifford Pinchot and photograph the stand before any thinning: big trunks with a pack or person for scale, standing dead snags, and the closed canopy overhead.

Walk the Little White Salmon forest on the Gifford Pinchot and shoot the stand as it is now: biggest trunks with a person or pack for scale, standing dead snags, and the canopy overhead where thinning is proposed.
Open. Anything filed before October 26 goes into the comment file the agency has to answer. After that it backs the formal objections, goes to the lawyers on the fight, and is the story.
More Than Just Parks doesn’t direct where you go or what you do. Terms.
