Include all special forest products, and non-market forest values in forest inventories. Establish methods to properly account for costs and benefits in making decisions about timber sales. Protect and restore municipal watersheds. Federal forest lands that contribute to municipal water supplies should be included in the key watersheds. Initiate a road long-term closure campaign .
Roads are the number one water quality concern in the forests.
A road closure campaign based on ecological priorities would go a long way to restoring fish and water quality. Allow land exchanges based on sound ecological and economic criteria. Land exchanges may make sense in some places to consolidate ownerships or protect sensitive areas, but they must be reviewed and approved after thorough public review and scientific review. End log exports from private lands to make up for declining harvest from federal lands. Log exports from private lands exceed the entire federal timber harvest, so impacts from reduced federal harvest can be easily mitigated by reducing log exports.
