"#NativeAmericans have used #PinyonPine and #juniper trees for food, medicine and ceremonial purposes since time immemorial. Pinyon pine nuts are a traditional food source for area Tribes and a focal point of traditional ways of life. Tribes and their members maintain ties to historic pine-nut gathering locations and hold ceremonies coinciding with the annual pine nut harvest.

"#SpringValley is an important cultural landscape for the #WesternShoshone, both as a traditional location for gathering and ceremony, and as a site of repeated massacres by #colonizers. Two Western Shoshone Tribal elders, Delaine and Rick Spilsbury, have joined today’s litigation."

A logging company has its eyes set on #clearcutting some of #BraggCreek's popular trailheads. #AlbertaWildernessAssociation's Devon Earl and co-host #AlbertaEnvironmentalNetwork's Molli Bennett talk about what that area means to them & why Calgarians should care.

It supported Veery and Wood Thrush but now the #ForestService wants to create young forest by #clearcutting 3,500 ares of #EcologicallyMature and #OldGrowth #forest.

More #clearcutting and roads by the @forestservice on very steep slopes (>60%) . This was done under its Hogback Project. Not helpful with increased #flooding around here and is contrary to the 2006 @monongahela @forest Plan. @forestservice, if I'm wrong here, please chime in.

Thank you for highlighting the #UpperCheatRiver project that is #clearcutting #OldGrowth #forest, just like other #ForestService projects in the East. e.g. the #TelephoneGap project. #WorthMoreStanding

The National Forest is GREAT. But why are they #clearcutting on slopes >50% in the #UpperCheatRivver Project when it just contributes to #flooding and loss of #biodiversity . #WorthMoreStanding

Tonight!!! Join @OurWVRivers for a virtual “Conversation on Headwaters” at 7:00 pm, 3/23. Ensure our tradition of pure, pristine Mon Forest headwaters now and for future generations. Sign up for your place in the conversation…

Went to D.C. and got good response from Senators to community request that F.S. stop #clearcutting the steepest slopes. Below is a local F.S. clearcut on >50% slope, which is contrary to the #Monongahela #Forest Plan. Can't see how this helps with #flooding #WorthMoreStanding

This especially #climate destroying method of #clearcutting our #ClimateForests is proposed by the F.S. for the mature and #OldGrowth #forest in the #UpperCheatRiver project.

Areas in the Mon Forest will be closed at the end of the month due to helicopter logging operations.

Clear cuts in the East seem to create Fire Hazzard . What is the @ForestSevice thinking in #clearcutting #OldGrowth #forest, some > 200 years old, to create fire hazards?

RT @WildWestInst
Pacific Northwest study of landslides, #clearcutting timber and building roads shows that #forest management history has a greater impact on how often landslides occur and how severe they are compared to how much water is coursing through a #watershed.

And again, like each year in February, "arborists" (ie robust people with chainsaws) are sent out by mindless bureaucrats in great numbers to decimate shrubs and trees alongside our roads in unbelievable quantities, an activity almost totally, but not quite unrelated to road safety. Maybe they found that having more shade and less dust in the summertime is actually detrimental to human health.

Sadly this area is proposed for #clearcutting under the #ForestService #UpperCheatRiver project to clearcut 3,500 acres of older #forest, including #OldGrowth

#Missoulian: Groups sue Forest Service to stop Black Ram project

The project also authorized 579 acres of logging in designated #OldGrowth forest — despite President Biden’s mandate to conserve old growth forests on federal lands — and 123 acres of logging in 'recruitment' old growth forest.
