“The protest comes as hundreds of acres of lightly burned mature and old growth forest are under imminent threat for clearcut logging in the Brietenbush watershed, even while a federal judge has yet to rule on a strong legal challenge filed by environmental organizations.” 
Continued from the press release- “The logging is planned on public forestland impacted by the 2020 wildfires directly across Highway 46 from the Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center and along the salmon-bearing Breitenbush river, proposed as a Wild & Scenic River.”
