**The Jackson Thin timber sale around Mts.Walker and Turner is a gorgeous area where 110 yr old naturally fire-regenerated stands and borderline old growth are proposed to be "thinned". northern spotted owls and neotropical migrant hermit warblers have been seen in various units. 9 miles of temporary roads would be built in eight units, inducing the spread of invasive species, soil degradation and compaction, etc. It's been proposed, supposedly, to reduce the risk of "catastrophic fire" when in reality the thin would only increase a fire's likelihood. visit the olympic forest coalition website for more information about scoping letters and public comments.
