It has been a god-awful fire season in the Southwest. Just ask Bob Hennkens.

A coalition of the nation's most powerful environmental organizations has asked Congress to approve legislation that would outlaw logging in National Forests.
The immediate causes of the Southwest's wildfires vary: lightning strikes, careless campers and arson. But there are underlying factors- reasons why these fires are so large and so much more ferocious than any for which evidence exists in natural history-that add up to real problems for communities, firefighters and the nation.
Of all the questions confronting restoration forestry's proponents this one is the most difficult to answer.

In January the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a call for proposals for development of a recovery plan for the northern spotted owl. It's about time.
Eastern Oregon's forests and communities are in a death spiral. Can anything be done to save them from certain disaster?
