BLM has published a plan to maximize logging in Oregon forests, including old growth forests, without due regard to wildlife (including endangered species) and waterways. They're claiming it will help prevent forest fires, though that seems to be contrary to current science, including that published by the forest service (you can find a list of sources here). This is in response to Trump's executive orders 14223, Addressing the Threat to National Security From Imports of Timber, Lumber, and Their Derivative Products and 14225, Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production.

We have 30 days to submit comments if we want to prevent this. This article has suggestions for what you can say, and how:

In early 2023 we were bequeathed the fava bean collection of Marshall Chrostowski, land and garden manager at the Pacifica Institute in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria, California. Marshall worked at Pacifica for three decades creating and evolving the ecology of the land there, and he was also an avid seed saver.

We received 14 lots of seed and logged them as the Marshall Chrostowski collection. They’ve sat in storage waiting for the time when a proper grow out and propagation could be organized. That time is now. 14 lots of seed were paired with a simple number system, planted at Rancho del Pueblo / Farmer and the Cook, and delineated by these beautiful signs created by friend of the pod Elizabeth Donnelly. Some of the fava varieties we received contained only a few beans and others were as old as 10 years, but we planted everything nonetheless.
