Protesting the proposed old-growth logging sale within the Willamette National Forest called the “Flat Country project,” over 100 “kayaktivists” floated the McKenzie River on Oct. 8. The U.S. Forest Service’s proposed sale would include over 2,000 acres of both old-growth and mature forests “across the headwaters” of the river, according to Oregon Wild and Cascadia Wildlands.
