Rainforest Action Network: Economic Emergency
September 2-5th, 2005 Eco - Defense Rendezvous
Camp with us along the Wenatchee River!
Rainforest Action Network - Greenpeace - Earth First!
Join us in a forest east of the Cascades for labor day weekend! Bring all your musician friends for some wild sounds around the campfire. There will also be many workshops and trainings: tree-climbing, self-defense, edible and herbal plant walks, gorilla theater, radical cheerleading, map and compass, timber monitoring, non-violence, gender dynamics and much more. (Note: if you attend these workshops you’ll be considered trained and ready to work on Greenpeace, RAN, EF! campaigns.)
About the forest: Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington State approved a plan to log 2,500 acres of federal lands that were burned by the Fischer Fire in August of 2004. The plan calls for logging in old-growth forest reserves, and for building or re-building over 15 miles of road. So lawsuits have been filed and loggers are logging as fast as possible to ensure the courts have no control over the hauling of 4,000 log trucks of fire adapted forests. It's called an "Economic Emergency." Details about the lawsuit http://www.cascwild.org/Post_fire/Fischer/
