Western Oregon Plan Revisions Bureau of Land Management To whom it may concern: I oppose the proposed Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). This particular plan would unravel the protections of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) which will threaten the magnificent forests, diversity of life, and clean salmon-rich waters of the region. With the loss of the NWFP, we will also lose ancient forests and degrade rivers and streams up and down the Pacific coast. No one wants the bad old days of rampant old growth clear-cutting, destructive road building, and local controversy. I urge you to reject this and every attempt to undermine science-based protections for our nation's natural resources. Clear-cutting over 100,000 acres of old-growth forest every decade is an unsustainable rate of logging that would destroy these ancient forests. Please rewrite the plan to protect our ancient forests, clean water, and the wildlife that call these areas home. Sincerely, B. Allan Ross 3075A El Cajon Blvd San Diego, CA 92104
