Conservationists Seek to Halt Logging Near Crater Lake National Park

The Bybee Timber Sale is located on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, adjacent to Crater Lake National Park.

(EUGENE, Ore. ) - As Oregonians celebrate the recent discovery that wolf OR-7 has found a mate and sired pups in southwest Oregon, conservationists on Wednesday took legal action to halt a reckless logging project that would destroy a potential wilderness area near Crater Lake National Park and may harm the new wolf family.

With the Bybee sale, the U.S. Forest Service proposes to build roads and log more than 2,000 acres, much of it pristine forest that has never been logged.
