Resolution #7: Management of Sierra Nevada National Forests


Region 5 of the US Forest Service has been preparing a draft EIS for the management of the Sierra Nevada forests.  The Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign has submitted a conservation proposal which emphasizes protection of old growth, no entry into roadless areas, protection of riparian areas, and emphasis on wildlife including California spotted owl, goshawk, and fur bearers such as the marten and fisher, and amphibians.  This proposal has been incorporated as one of the alternatives to be presented in the draft EIS.
ACTION: FWOC strongly supports the Conservation Alternative prepared by the Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign.  When the draft EIS is released, member clubs are asked to write a letter to Regional Forester, Brad Powell, USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, 1323 Club Drive, Vallejo, CA 94592, endorsing the SNFPC alternative and asking that it be selected as the preferred alternative.
