Watershed Week - October 11-18

wild mt ashland, 06.10.2006 - 16:29
Ashlanders will gather at a series of community and educational events dubbed "Watershed Week - October 11-18" to learn about the importance of our watershed. The week's activities will galvanize citizens to protect our watershed as a source of clean drinking water, lush forests, and critical habitat for numerous plants and animals.

Our fragile watershed has been under threat since the Mt Ashland Association refused to compromise and planned to expand the Mt Ashland Ski Area into the pristine Middle Branch. The controversy around the proposed expansion of the Mt Ashland Ski Area has reached a crucial moment. The situation is dynamic and changing daily. Citizen involvement to protect our watershed and urge City Council to make sound decisions is critical at this time.

GAO Shows Biscuit Logging Lost Money

Rolf Skar, 04.10.2006 - 13:18
A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released today shows the Bush administration lost taxpayer dollars by logging remote, sensitive forests after the 2002 Biscuit fire. This definitive report by the government's own watchdog group deals another serious blow to Congressman Greg Walden's post-fire logging bill now pending in Congress.

Emergency Mt. Ashland City Council Meeting

From Green Grandmothers and Friends, 25.09.2006 - 20:37
There is new information which with your help can save our Ashland Water Shed. The Roadless Rule has been re-instated by the federal government, and Mt. Ashland is on the list of protected roadless areas. Because the expansion project of the Mt. Ashland Association has not yet begun and almost one half of the expansion project is in the McDonald Roadless Area, there is the possibility of stopping the clear-cutting.

There will be an emergency meeting of the Ashland City Council on Tuesday, September 26th at 1:00 PM at 51 Windburn Way across from Lithia Park regarding the Mt. Ashland water shed issue.

Mt. Ashland Hike on Venita Varga's 70th B-day

Venita tells her story, 17.09.2006 - 10:00
September 6, 2006 was my 70th birthday and I choose to accompany a group of 13 people of all ages, led by Eric Navickas, on the proposed Ski Expansion at Mt. Ashland site.

As a long-time peace and environmental activist, I wanted to do something memorable for my 70th. It was. Many of the younger people with me actually helped, assisted and encouraged me on the splendid, enlightening and incredible trek throughout a five-hour hike with almost no trails at all. Exhausted but happy and proud of our accomplishment, we fourteen parted at EVO's at 5:00 pm where we had met and left at 9:00 am.

I am infinitely greatful to the Universe that our beautiful Mt. Ashland watershed was still there for me to enjoy...may it continue to be there for all our descendants.
