• Gifford Pinchot Restoration Plan Proposed

A Portland-based conservation group released a 20-year plan for the Gifford Pinchot National Forest on Wednesday that calls for strategic forest thinning, road removal and policy changes to reduce the impact of grazing, mining and off-road vehicle use on the 1.3- million-acre forest in Southwest Washington. The plan, called "Restoring Volcano Country," was written by the Gifford Pinchot Task Force. It outlines a vision for increasing protection for fish and wildlife, including the gray wolf and the northern spotted owl, while putting people to work in family-wage jobs in the woods.

• Gifford Pinchot Considers Burning Huckleberry Fields

Hoping to revive a tribal tradition, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest is proposing to reinvigorate a legendary huckleberry field by reintroducing the positive benefits of fire. The Forest Service also is proposing to sell larger trees while using a mechanical device to masticate smaller ones on 1,212 acres on the Sawtooth Huckleberry Fields, just north of the Indian Heaven Wilderness. Members of the Yakama Indian Nation have gotten exclusive use of part of the high-elevation area since 1932, when the tribal chief and supervisor of the former Columbia National Forest struck a handshake agreement.
