JOHN DAY â Environmentalists, working alongside timber industry professionals, helped end the ban on logging trees over 21 inches.
Instead of fighting in the courtroom, with environmental lawsuits halting timber projects, the former adversaries joined together in forest collaboratives to find areas of agreement using science, and the most recent result is the end of an era of prohibition on logging trees larger than 21 inches in diameter â a result the collaboratives believe is mutually beneficial for the environment and the timber industry, and based on the best available science.
The 21-inch rule was part of the Eastside Screens, a set of standards that came to be in 1995 to protect wildlife habitat and water quality on nearly 10 million acres of public land in Eastern Oregon.

Archie Brown, 17, who died following motorcycle accident in Bransholme
A 16-year-old boy was tragically killed after crashing his new pit bike into a barrier - just 30 minutes after buying it.
Archie Brown, of Bransholme, collided into the barrier in Castlehill Road on the afternoon of April 11 last year, and just weeks before his 17th birthday.
He suffered a severe head injury and died at the scene, Hull Coroner s Court was told. An inquest into his death heard that he had only just purchased the bike for £250 from a 14-year-old boy, who had only owned it for two to three weeks himself.
