Listed below are links to Juniper Group and Oregon Chapter Sierra Club
comments and appeals on Federal projects and management plans. These
cover a variety of issues, including logging sales, fuels reduction
projects, off-highway-vehicle trail mapping, grazing rights leases, and long
range management plans. Many off these are actions that are in
progress, so there may be future documents posted. Additional
information on many of these issues can be found in the appropriate Federal
office web page listed on the Federal Areas Issues page.
