But Wait!  There's more!  Let’s get this straight:  A “managed forest” is a tree farm.  Forests manage themselves in real life. Tree farms require fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and air-borne delivery systems.  They spell the end of our water supply and they mean extinction to salmon.  Governor Kitzhaber and Secretary of State Kate Brown will decide at a February 8th 2011 State Land Board Meeting on whether to move forward on auctioning off 4,920 acres of Common School Fund (CSF) Land in Josephine and Jackson counties. Most of these parcels if sold would likely be bought by local timber industry interests and subsequently clearcut. It’s a pattern.    Governor Kitzhaber, Kate Brown, and State Treasurer are the State Lands Board (SLB) .  And they will be the ones who decide at a public SLB meeting on February 8th 2011  whether to allow the Department of State Land (DSL) to sell off over 4,900 acres of Common School Fund Lands (CSF) in Josephine and Jackson County to the highest bidder. This "selling" of properties in Josephine and Jackson counties is the last portion of this current plan devised by the Oregon Board of Forestry (BOF) in 2006 to "dispose" of 12,000 acres of CSF lands in Western Oregon.  And take a look at the Board of Forestry:  Timber industry insiders for the most part – with the exception of Sybil Akerman.  Oregon Department of Forestry   information@odf.state.or...Phone: 503-945-7200
