BLM TIMBER SALES TO OFFER NEARLY 40 MILLION BOARD FEET

KQEN News Radio

The Bureau of Land Management will offer six timber sales in September, totaling 39.7 million board feet to be harvested from 3,470 public acres across western Oregon, including in Douglas County.

BLM Oregon/Washington State Director Barry Bushue said, “Timber harvested from public lands provides essential benefits to our nation, from supporting rural economies and local jobs to ensuring a strong domestic timber supply”. Bushue said, “At the same time, timber production plays a vital role in forest health and wildfire risk reduction that protects communities and saves lives”.

The Roseburg District will offer the Prince Butte timber sale, which is 6.9 million board feet and 239 public acres near Oakland. The BLM will accept written and oral bids at 10:00 a.m. on September 23rd at the Roseburg District Office on Northwest Garden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg.

The Medford District will offer four timber sales, and the Lakeview District will offer one.

A release said in western Oregon, the BLM manages 2.4 million acres of some of the most productive forests in the world and is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber.

Each year, sales managed by the BLM’s forestry program in Oregon and Washington support approximately 2,000 local jobs and generate more than $1 billion for local economies. Revenue from the timber sold on O&C lands is shared between the U.S. Treasury and 18 western Oregon counties.

WYDEN, COLLEAGUES DEMAND REINSTATEMENT OF WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS

KQEN News Radio

On Friday, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden said he joined colleagues from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to question the Trump administration’s sudden elimination of the Women in Wildfire Bootcamps program and demand its reinstatement.

A release said this year alone, the U.S. has experienced 48,458 wildfires that have burned more than four million acres across Oregon and dozens of states. The WIWF Bootcamps provided essential training to women considering careers as wildland firefighters or fire management professionals. Wyden claims its elimination will harm recruitment efforts at a time when firefighters are needed more than ever.

In a letter to Department of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Acting Chief of the U.S. Forest Service Tom Schulz, the senators said, “The WIWF program was established in 2011 by a group of dedicated female firefighting professionals employed by the U.S. Forest Service for the purpose of increasing firefighter recruitment within Federal land management agencies”. The letter continued, “The program gave both women and interested men an opportunity to learn the basic skills, requirements, and knowledge necessary to begin a career as a wildland firefighter or in a related wildfire and natural resource management position. The program armed its participants with the knowledge and confidence to apply for further training and full-time wildland fire management positions”.

The senators concluded, “Eliminating a successful outreach program such as the WIWF Boot Camps unnecessarily limits recruitment to a smaller pool of potential trainees when there is already a shortage of skilled and willing potential workers in a field where more dedicated and motivated personnel are urgently needed”.

In addition to Wyden, the letter was signed by seven other senators as well.
