"Launchpad", a 30' bipod blocks forest service access to the lower road.
Our message to the Forest Service: BUY EAGLE BACK! The public doesn't want it cut, The logging company doesn't want to cut, so what's the problem?
Liftoff, our newest innovation in our quest to keep the Forest Service guessing. A line runs from the top of the bipod, then over a pulley on a traverse, and a pulley hangs off the end.
Luanchpad, and Liftoff, cozy and dry on a rainy day. We are prepared to stay here until the Eagle sale is cancelled.
Law Enforcement Officers guard the gate leading to the tree sit. A "motor vehicle closure" blocks easy public access.

that holds a Tree Sit. According to the Forest Service's
watershed analysis, this tree does not exist.
This platform is suspended by ropes in mid air!

From 70 feet up, a masked activist watches the forest. The veiw is magnificent.
This is our tree sit, 150 feet up in the forest canopy.

The veiw from the Tree Sit, looking west, toward Portland. This massive clearcut is owned by Longveiw Fiber. After a heavy rain, these slopes could easily slide down into Eagle Creek, further harming water quality. In the Northwest Forest Plan, the Aquatic Conservation Strategy requires that 'no more than 40% of a watershed may be in a degraded condition at one time. The Eagle Creek drainage has already exeeded this limit.
