BLM plans timber harvesting in the Oregon Coast Range that could harm wildlife, water, and public recreation.
What’s at risk
Trees, streams, and wildlife habitat in the Aloha Trout area of the Oregon Coast Range are at risk from proposed timber harvesting and forestry treatments. BLM is using a streamlined Environmental Assessment, which may underestimate the real impacts.
If this goes through
Logging and silvicultural treatments would permanently alter the Aloha Trout Forest, with lasting damage to habitat, water quality, and recreational access on public land.

4 holes in the agency’s own analysis
What the public could have raised, from the agency’s own document
- I oppose this action as proposed, and I ask the agency to weigh the specific harms below.
- Do not approve timber harvesting in the Aloha Trout Forest without a full Environmental Impact Statement, because the Environmental Assessment process may not adequately capture significant impacts to wildlife and water quality in the Oregon Coast Range.
- I oppose silvicultural treatments in the Aloha Trout area that could harm water quality and the fish habitat that gives this forest its name.
- Recreational users of the Marys Peak Field Office depend on healthy public lands, and logging operations in the Aloha Trout Forest would degrade the experience and access we rely on.
- BLM must fully evaluate how any timber harvesting in the Aloha Trout Forest affects local wildlife before approving this project under the Marys Peak Field Office.
