“Today we’re announcing 62 proposed timber sales in Western Oregon for the coming year.  The work plan that has been devised reflects a new commitment to coordination between BLM and the Fish and Wildlife Service.  It is an effort that breaks down the silos of the Department of the Interior and the working together of these two agencies.  Of the 62, 46 have already completed Endangered Species consultation.  The remaining 16 are undergoing that consultation at this point.  The 46 sales that have been approved alone would provide approximately 199 million board feet.”
