OREGON — A timber sale near Roseburg and an accompanying protest have been pushed back to April 22, or Earth Day. The protest against the Yellow Panther timber sale was originally set for Tuesday, March 25, but the auction was postponed till late April. This timber sale is part of the Blue and Gold project, a controversial timber harvest plan by the federal Bureau of Land Management approved last year. Madeline Cowen from the environmental non-profit Cascadia Wildlands said this timber harvest was pushed through during the Biden Administration. …She said that this project is particularly important because of how much logging is planned for old-growth forests. …Cowen’s group filed a lawsuit against the BLM regarding this project, and just last month, the BLM agreed to notify the conservation group 30 days in advance of any logging on future projects before a court hearing set for the fall.
