Location 



This sale is in the South Salmon River watershed 8 miles northwest of Cecilville. 



Impact 



The Forest Service is planning to cut over 12 million board feet of timber from a Late Successional Resene 

 that borders the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Some of the logging units will abut the Wilderness area. According 

 to a Julv 9, 1996 letter from the Salmon River District Ranger, "The map used during EA preparation had 

 mistakenly not shown this area as inventoried roadless." In fact, the Taylor timber sale will enter the Orleans 

 Roadless Area. The watershed supports numerous sensitive species including the coho salmon and the 

 KJamath Mountain Province steelhead - both proposed threatened species.
