If you’re thinking it won’t matter if you leave a comment in opposition to this move . . . you’re probably right. That’s the fucked up truth.

But, also:

This public comment period is open until March 23, 2026. Unlike phone calls, these comments become part of the public record and can be used in later lawsuits as evidence of how significant public opposition is/was.

Today is the last day to leave a comment:

https://eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home/?id=a591dee8-500c-f111-8406-001dd8029ed0

Don’t let the historical record show that only a few people publicly opposed this.

"Researchers from Lund University and Stanford University found that these untouched forests store 78 to 89 percent more carbon. This carbon exists in living trees, dead wood, and even deep in the soil.

The difference between old-growth and managed forests is far greater than earlier estimates. Researchers found that the gap is 3 to 8 times larger than what scientists previously thought."

Among other unique places,
BLM intends to cut down “The Valley of the Giants.” This is an old-growth forest (near the town of Falls City) of immense significance & a natural area of incredible beauty.

I can’t think of a more stupid & short-sighted plan to benefit some greedy oligarchs.

Please submit a comment (link in the article) to support preservation of these precious forests. Public comment period ends March 23rd.
