A friend in Trout Lake posts about coyotes she sees close to home. I so wish that we all shared her appreciation for these beings.

We are considering an appeal to the Gottschalk decision. Not sure it's possible; not sure it's practical. Exploring both. Here are two photos showing the damage that's occurred on this parcel over the last few years. First (top) from 2010 before logging. Second (bottom) from 2018. That one's a little hard to see, given the shadows (don't know if Google Earth would let me get rid of the shadows).

Interesting research in the Alsea watershed in coastal Oregon. This link is to a news release, with a link in the article to the research report. It doesn't appear to address rotations shorter than 40-50 years.
“Results of this study indicated that 40- to 50-year rotations of Douglas-fir plantations can produce persistent, large, summer low-flow deficits,” Segura said. “While the clear-cutting of these plantations, with retention of riparian buffers, increased daily streamflow slightly, streamflow did not return to where it was before the harvesting of those mature forests, which apparently do not use as much water.”

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Summer streamflow in industrial tree plantations harvested on 40- to 50-year rotations was 50% lower than in century-old forests, data from the long-term Alsea Watershed Study in the Oregon Coast Range showed. The research, led by Oregon State University’s Catalina Segura, is a...
