There was an excellent presentation put on by Max Beeken of the Coast Range Forest Watch  at the U of O a couple of weeks ago on the Elliott State Forest.  He and other biologists have been doing surveys of endangered species and if not for their many hours of volunteer work- many old growth stands of forest would be cut and species' habitat destroyed in the Elliott.   He also makes a good case that the sale of the Elliott is totally unnecessary economically.  I believe it will be posted on the website soon.  Information is power.
