Activists Try to Buy Thunder Mountain Timber to Foil Loggers
Washington activists led by Mitch Friedman bid cash for a Thunder Mountain parcel in the Okanogan National Forest to keep the century-old timber from being logged. The Forest Service rejected the top bid of 15000 dollars, citing rules against private purchases of public timber. Friedman advocates repeal of the prohibition and broader rule changes, arguing public forests are treated like an exclusive club.
