Greenpeace vacates anti-logging camp

Grants Pass, Ore. After two protests that temporarily blocked loggers from timber sales, Greenpeace dismantled the base camp for its southern Oregon campaign against old growth logging. The group also received a federal citation for staying too long on public lands. “Today is the last day of the rescue station, but it’s just the beginning of our campaign in southern Oregon,” Greenpeace campaigner Ginger Cassady told the Grants Pass Daily Courier on Monday. Just what form that campaign would take was unclear. But Greenpeace organizer Mike Roselle has said protesters will try to disrupt salvage logging in areas burned by the 500,000-acre Biscuit fire of 2002, which has become the focus of a national debate over timber harvest in areas burned by wildfire. Timber sales are expected to be auctioned in early July. Greenpeace established its “Forest Rescue Station” about 40 miles northwest of Grants Pass during Memorial Day weekend and invited the public to take tours of the nearby Kelsey-Whisky timber sale. The camp included a solar-powered video editing studio and a biodiesel fire truck.
