Logging Plans Attract Bids and Law Suit

MEDFORD, OR — The federal government plans salvage logging on Southern Oregon forests swept by wildfire last year.  The timber would come from land near Glendale in southern Douglas County. The 75-square-mile area burned after it was ignited by a dry lightning storm.  Two sales drew bids totaling more than $1.6 million in July, but a third, larger sale didn’t draw interest.  Reports said that three environmental groups have since gone to federal court in hopes of blocking the sale.  The suit says endangered northern spotted owls live in the area and are at risk if it’s logged.
