While officials argue more logging, grazing, and mining will boost local economies and actually reduce wildfire risk by thinning forests, environmentalists warn it could worsen drought, degrade water quality, and endanger wildlife like wolves and salmon. Critics see the plan as exploitation disguised as conservation, while the timber industry pushes back, citing wildfire and insect threats, a shrinking workforce, and the urgent need for markets. A key change would roll back a 32-year-old rule protecting large trees — with most logging likely focused in the Malheur National Forest. Public comment closes September 30.
