5/12/05 We were delighted to learn that the Forest Service has withdrawn the Polallie-Cooper Sales. So this logging project is now canceled! This is a huge victory for Mt. Hood, for those who rely on the Crystal Springs Watershed for drinking water, and all those who enjoy this wild area near Cooper Spur.
- Mount Hood land exchange will prevent resort development, supporters say
Supporters say a proposed land swap on Mount Hood will expand wilderness, eliminate a planned destination resort on the mountain's lower northeast slope and protect a drinking water source for Hood River Valley residents.
