Title
"SOU Debate Biscuit fire" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on a debate on timber salvage held at Southern Oregon University between Forest Engineering Professor John Sessions and Conservation Biologist Dominick DellaSala. The Biscuit Fire had burned 500,000 acres in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in 2002, greatly impacting large areas of old growth forest. At the time of this recording, John Sessions of Oregon State University was calling for expanded salvage of timber in the affected areas, far above the harvest targets that had been set initially. This approach was opposed by many forestry and ecology experts, including DellaSala. In AuCoin's view, Sessions was unduly influenced by political and business interests. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in 2003 or 2004.
