Rough and Ready Lumber has agreed to revise their harvest plans to incorporate selective thinning and the expanded stream buffers we requested. This outcome preserves the integrity of our local headwaters and offers a much more sustainable path forward for the land. I appreciate the thoughtful commitment you showed in …

We, the undersigned residents of Williams, Oregon, because of our concern for the headwaters of Rock Creek and all waterways downstream, urge Rough & Ready Lumber to modify current timber harvest plans for their property at T39S R5W Section 28 Tax lot 2600 as follows:
1. Do a selective cut instead of a clearcut
2. Increase the stream buffer to 100’
3. Should you choose to ignore the pleas of this community and proceed with a clearcut, to abstain from spraying any herbicides.

I grew up in this area, and have witnessed erosion and damages caused by clearcutting. Please reconsider, and consider selective thinning to keep our forests asnd streams healthy.
Selective logging will build healthier forests that protect the resources that your industry depends on. Please be stewards of the land you are working. It’s a win/win kinda thing. Healthier forests = more, better logs. You’re lucky I’m not charging for this kind of advice. You’re welcome.
When you poison your own watershed, the toxins do not obey your property lines. This chop and squirt way of logging must stop for the health of our ecosystems and the future generations. Select thinning is sane and it provides more jobs! Be responsible.
Your decision on how you proceed with property at T39S R5W will have a lasting impact for generations to come. Please consider being a positive example for the industry by doing a selective cut and leaving a 100' stream buffer to help decrease your environmental impact.
Along with our community, my four year~old daughter and I receive so much nourishment from the waters and land here in Williams. We're asking you to reconsider your plan to help everyone here thrive~ especially the earth who needs us now more than ever to care for her with our whole hearts.
Clear cutting is an attack on all life!

Clearcutting increases soil erosion and water turbidity. I understand the forestry principles behind conventional planting and harvesting, but it’s time we start doing it better.
