This message was forwarded to us by the Association of Forest Service
Employees for Environmental Ethics (AFSEEE) as a followup on our
Alert of yesterday. The Barkley timber salvage sale has been
withdrawn! This saves some of the last remaining spawning habitat
for the spring-run chinook still left in California. Please repost this
followup to anyone you posted the 3-2-96 FishLink Alert to as well.
Again, thanks for your response! It made a difference!

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOUR CALLS AND E-MAIL MESSAGES HELPED SAVE A CALIFORNIA OLD-GROWTH FOREST
AND CRITICAL SALMON HABITAT.
Earlier this week, AFSEEE's E-Activist alerted you to a timber sale on the
Lassen National Forest that would have destroyed an old-growth forest in a
watershed that serves as critical habitat for at-risk salmon and steelhead.
AFSEEE has just learned that Clinton Administration has canceled the
Barkley timber sale. We thank everyone who took the time to call or email
the President and Under Secretary of Agriculture Jim Lyons. Your calls and
messages made a difference. Without the public pressure that you and other
exerted, the sale would likely have gone forward as planned.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION!
