SUMMARY:The North Coast Temperate Rainforest Isn’t Disappearing — It’
 s Gone.
DESCRIPTION:North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is spo
 nsoring a presentation of aerial photographs by Richard Felley entitled:\n
 The North Coast Temperate Rainforest Isn’t Disappearing — It’s Gone.
 \nOn Wednesday\, July 15\, 5:30pm at KALA\, 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria.\
 nDoors will open at 5:00pm. Food and drinks will be available for purchase
 .\nFree Admission\nRichard Felley will present his aerial photos of clearc
 uts on private and state forests\, with a discussion and information on wh
 at you can do about it. He will discuss how the timber industry transforms
  our native\, real forests into clearcuts\, and then into tree farms. The 
 aerial photos were taken from a helicopter flying over Tillamook and Clats
 op counties.\nFelley says: “My purpose for acquiring the images is that 
 I have gone into the woods (tree farms) for over 40 years now to cut firew
 ood and I feel most people really just don’t see up close what I have se
 en. My concern is that these lands can’t handle the kind of rotations th
 at their owners are imposing on them and\, combined with a warming\, dryin
 g local climate\, they are cutting their own throats and impacting the wat
 ersheds of everyone by continuing business as usual. Many of the images sh
 ow tree farms that have clearly been planted 10 to 20 years ago with much 
 die off occurring and no replanting occurring either. In a word I simply c
 all it mismanagement.”\nJust as the salmon inspire you to keep swimming 
 upstream\, let us keep speaking up to advocate for healthy forests and cle
 an drinking water for all.\nNCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use 
 in community drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land\, and 
 wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live\, work\, and
  recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust 
 that we all are entitled to have. Please help North Coast Communities for 
 Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds.\nFor m
