BLACKBERRY AUCTION
On August 7, 2006 the final Biscuit Burn salvage sale was held to auction off the Blackberry sale in a remote part of the North Kalmioposis roadless area. This was the most controversial salvage sale of all, in a difficult to access area more than two hours from a major highway.
According to Rolf Skar with the Siskiyou Project:
"This was sort of a legendary grove of trees for the timber sale planners. They knew that this was huge old growth with tight straight grain and as a matter of fact right before the snows came we uncovered a bunch of green tree logging that was happening on roads outside of logging units where live green old growth trees were just being logged apparently under the cover of road safety, which is strange because large green old growth generally don’t fall over onto roads."
