The U.S. Forest Service is taking objections to a decision it has already drafted here. Tongass National Forest, Alaska.
The agency files it as “Tongass - Twin Mountain II Timber Sale - TBRD”
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.
In the Staney and Red Bay areas on Prince of Wales Island, photograph the big old trees before cutting starts: trunks with a pack or person for scale, standing dead snags, and the closed canopy overhead.
Open. Anything filed before November 30 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.
