Take action

If logging near you concerns you, here is exactly what to do, in order. None of it requires accepting any claim of wrongdoing; the goal is open records and a real public-comment before old forest is cut.

1. Find your area

Search a town, lake, park, or watershed, or use your location, on the find your area page. It opens the map for where you live.

2. See what is open for comment

6 blocks are open for comment right now. The alerts page lists them, soonest deadline first. Comment windows are short, so this is the time-sensitive part.

3. Comment on a block

Every area has ready-made comments you can copy and submit through the Forest Operations Map. Each open block on the alerts page links straight to a draft, or open your area's comment assistant from its area page. Comments are on the record: the company must report on the comment process to government before it can apply for its permits.

4. Ask for the records

For recent blocks where the site-level records are not public, you can file a records request. The records request guide has a ready-to-send version, and every map has a records-gap layer that drafts one per block.

5. Stay informed

Subscribe to the alerts feed for your area (by RSS or email) so you hear when a new comment period opens, instead of finding it after it has closed.

Seen logging marked in the field? If you have seen cutblock boundaries flagged on the ground near you that you cannot find here, that is worth knowing. The Forest Operations Map can lag what is marked in the field, and a local sighting is often the first signal. Tell me what you saw (opens an email); a photo of the tape or signage helps. Reports are checked against the public data, not published as claims. This is how blocks near Fairy Lake were confirmed.
