The Blue and Gold logging project, located west of Yoncalla in the Umpqua River watershed, has some of the last remaining unlogged, carbon-storing older forests in the region. The agency plans to aggressively log and build roads in old-growth habitat essential to imperiled species including the northern spotted owl and marbled murrelet. The main justification for the Blue and Gold project is, unsurprisingly, to meet timber production targets. www.cascwild.org
