BeeLine
The Beeline Timber Sale is proposed in public forests administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). According to the maps (see below) it will log forests up to 95 years old. NOTE In timber sales as recent as 2006 (see Butte Creek TS), the BLM has logged forests that are 80 years old in general but cut individual trees 200 years old in that forest. Bark needs volunteer Groundtruthers to help collect more data on this sale. Please contact Amy Harwood at 503.331.0374 or email amy (at) bark-out.org to find out how to help.'
