Environmental groups have successfully stopped a series of logging projects in coastal Southern Oregon after scoring a win in federal court. On Thursday, a U.S. District Court judge ruled the U.S. Bureau of Land Management broke environmental laws when it approved a plan to log about 2,400 acres of forests near Yoncalla in Douglas County. …The court ordered BLM to throw out the entirety of the logging plan it called the Blue and Gold project. If the bureau wants to log this area in the future, it will need to come up with a new plan — and it will have to study these forests more closely to assure the public that it won’t kill large, ancient trees. …Timber industry representatives and local county politicians have long argued that federal law requires extensive logging in this region — namely in forests once owned by the Oregon and California Railroad company.
