The objective
What we are testing.
Willamette National ForestOld growth
“We are proposing to treat about 899 acres of plantations less than 80 years old using thinning, dominant tree release, gap creation, and skips.”
The agency wrote that in its own document, under Introduction. Nobody has been out to check it.
Walk into the marked thinning units in the Calapooia and Wiley Creek parts of the project and photograph the trees: trunk size, big old stumps, snags, and whether the canopy looks like an even-aged planting. Photos of large old trees, wide trunks or big snags mixed into a unit would undercut the claim that it is all young planted forest.
The window shut September 10. Evidence still counts: it backs the objections from people who did comment, goes to the lawyers, and outlives the decision.
