Oregon judge rejects one attempt to stop post-fire logging, but multiple battles underway Zach Urness, Salem Statesman Journal © Submitted photo Blackened forest above the Little North Santiam River from Elkhorn Road 201. A Multnomah County judge has rejected a request from environmental groups to halt post-fire logging in the Santiam Canyon, but that doesn t mean controversy surrounding how Oregon manages the forests burned in the Labor Day fires is going away.   Last Friday, circuit court judge Jerry Hodson ruled that the Oregon Department of Forestry could move forward with plans to harvest and remove hazard trees on 3,000 acres of fire-burned Santiam State Forest. 

Recreation site closures show wildfires destruction

While county parks in Linn County largely survived the fire damage from last summer, other area parks were hit much harder, leading to closures of some of Oregon’s most popular natural gems. One of the areas most affected by the 2020 Labor Day fires was the Opal Creek Wilderness, which is completely closed to the general public. Not only is access limited due to burned bridges and downed trees along the road to the trailhead, the recreation areas themselves still have hazardous conditions that mean they’re unsafe for normal activities. A trip to Salmon Falls County Park on Thursday revealed that downed trees and dead standing timber were indeed all over.

Environmental justice will defray risks to communities

The main stream in this picture is the Little North Santiam River. When vulnerable people get sick, when vulnerable communities burn, when they are us, our family members, our neighbors – it matters.  The year 2020 exposed how under-investment can devastate our communities, our people, and our state’s economy. And the problems of the pandemic, fires, pollution that threatens air, water and land aren’t going away any time soon.  How we approach solving these issues will determine how efficiently and effectively we succeed. We need solutions that are effective, efficient and equitable.

Heavy rain is expected to sweep across Oregon this weekend, bringing possible flooding in Coastal rivers and landslides in areas burned in the Labor Day fires.  The Willamette Valley could see 1 to 3 inches of rain, National Weather Service meteorologist Miles Higa said.  The Oregon Coast could see 4 to 6 inches and the highest Coast Range peaks could get a whopping 8 to 9 inches, he said.
