FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







RESOLUTION #22:  NORTHWEST ANCIENT FOREST CAMPAIGN

The Northwest Ancient Forest Campaign has been designed to end forest habitat fragmentation.  The majority of U.S. citizens believe that natural resources on federal lands should be conserved for responsible recreation and tourism and habitat.  These activities in the national forest system create thirty times more jobs and generate more jobs and generate thirty times more income than commercial logging.
The majority of remaining old growth forests exists on Federal lands.  These few remaining old growth forests should be preserved for their genetic heritage.
The manner in which commercial logging has been carried out in the Northwest national forests has damaged and fragmented natural resources beyond recognition by denuding habitat for all living things (including birds and mammals, soil organisms, and our heritage of wild salmon).
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs endorses the Northwest Ancient Forest campaign effort to end commercial logging of old growth from the national forests of the Northern Spotted Owl region and commits itself to participate in the campaign by educating and motivating its members to support the issue.
Please contact: Congressional delegations from Washington, Oregon, and California and Dale Bosworth, Chief, U.S. Forest Service, Washington, D.C.
