No, this is not a repeat. But as the state Department of Natural Resources plans to harvest old-growth timber in Clark County, the issues sound familiar. The agency is proposing the harvest of 156 acres on five parcels within the historic Yacolt Burn area. The acreage provides habitat for federally protected northern spotted owls, but a report from the Department of Natural Resources says the harvest will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The mere mention of spotted owls likely resonates with many residents, calling to mind a debate that dates to the 1980s. …Bumper stickers such as “Save a logger, eat an owl,” were a common sight. So, it is not surprising that a proposal to log the old-growth forests that are the owls’ primary habitat would raise hackles. …Officials said their lands include adequate habitat for the spotted owl, allowing them to harvest excess old-growth trees.
