I encourage those who enjoy recreating in their national forests to attend the U.S. Forest Service meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 30, in the 1912 Center in Moscow. Forest Supervisor Brazell will discuss his proposed Forest Plan revision for two hours. For decades the national forests in America have been bound by a 40 acre clearcut size maximum.</span></p><p style="outline: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: none; float: none !important;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When Brazell's proposed Forest Plan is finalized it will 1) exempt the Clearwater National Forest from the USFS 40 acre clearcut size limit, 2) hardwire 1,500 acre clearcuts into the plan, and 3) allow clearcuts of any size when he declares a "catastrophic" event has occurred. Brazell will define catastrophic event.</span></p><div class="encrypted-content" style="outline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: none !important;"><p style="outline: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: none; float: none !important;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Who is this guy who uses our tax dollars to trash our legacy to future generations in order to serve his corporate masters with short-term profit?</span></p></div><div class="encrypted-content" style="outline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: none !important;"><p style="outline: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; background-image: none; float: none !important;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="outline: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: 700;">Dick Artley</span>, Grangeville</span></p></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">-------------------------------------<br><br><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">6:00 pm, Wednesday (July 30th)</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow's 1912 Center</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya there (cameras in hand), Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares"</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div> </div></div></div></body></html>
