 this the first time you write so that you can establish a friendly working

Familiarize yourself with these species and their habitat requ1rement» and where 

 they have been sited. Pick your favorites and start from there. 



When you get a notice of a proposed action, request copies of the USGS Quad Maps 

 for the area with outlines of the forest boundaries, and a listing of all 

 management activities In that area (Prior cuts, offerings, and sales) You'll 

 probably have to go go the office yourself and look through the files (with 

 their assistance, of course) to map out all these on the USGS map as well. 



Now we'll have a picture of what Is actually going on In the forest. 



Eventually, once we've got all our research done and know what we're talking 

 about, we'll pick one particularly offensive and well situatedsale, go whole 

 hog and take 1t to court, do some media grandstanding ancK^D^to make It a 

 statewide Issue. We'll have better Information on the state fffyfne forest than 

 they do, and we'll kick their butts. /
