A timber industry group alleges the Grasshopper Fire in Oregon is burning through forests slated for hazardous fuels reduction that was delayed by environmental litigation. But the environmental organization responsible for the lawsuit claims it hasn’t actually impended forest treatments in the wildfire area. According to the American Forest Resource Council, the wildfire has affected an area near Mt. Hood identified as a high priority for resilience treatments in 2022, which were held up by a lawsuit filed by the Oregon Wild nonprofit the following year. …Oregon Wild rejects the allegation that its lawsuit actually postponed the forest treatments, since the group didn’t seek or obtain a preliminary injunction in the case, which was settled by the U.S. Forest Service in early 2025.
