Trapper Creek is just another example of excessive logging ambitions. We shouldn't still be trying to log virgin forests. Plenty of other forests out there growing like gangbusters. After ~200 years of logging in Oregon, if a parcel of land ain't been logged yet, then we ought to leave it alone, there ain't no going back for a stump. If people are truly interested in the impact of logging in Oregon, go to Google Earth and do a birds-eye survey of our forests, those aerial photos don't lie.
The issue here as I see it is that the McKenzie Watershed should be left alone completely. Hundreds of thousands of citizens drink from these waters, any & all Logging practices be they selective cut, clear cut, partial cut etc. only increase the chances of water pollution. I believe that there should be a complete and permanent halt to all development in the McKenzie river drainage immediately! Possibly even some home/business removals via relocation. Specifically properties above Blue River.
But I would like to say something, When you log an area the deer and elk start moving in and the deer, elk, cougar, and black bear populations grow. Because when you log a area more sunlight hits the ground so berries, grass and other plants beguin to grow. One reason they don't log more is because they want to protect native owls and give small animals cover, but how many owls and small animals do you see in the woods?
@outd00rsman Go to google earth and transport yourself to the forests on the East and West sides of the Willamette Valley, surf around a while like a bird in the sky, gazing down on the various clearcuts, then make up your mind about how much logging we have going on out there. Those images don't lie.

I think we have plenty of deer and plenty of clearcuts for them--and the grass--to hang out in,
