EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — The Willamette National Forest wants to allow salvage logging of dead trees that are threatening to fall onto some roads.
The Register Guard reports the logging would occur in the area burned by a 2009 wildfire.
Since the fire the Forest Service has closed 34 miles of roads in an area where people like to hike, hunt and collect firewood.
The Eugene-based national forest is taking comments on the plan on its website.
