> Trapped like an animal high in a treetop for over 24 hours, a
> single activist with Cascadia Forest Alliance (CFA) spent the
> night exposed to the elements, and remains perched without food,
> shelter, or water at Gods Valley in the Tillamook state forest.
> Despite lack of sleep, the activist known as Ridge endured a
> night of psychological and physical torment, surviving bright
> lights, verbal harassment, and overnight temperatures in the
> low 40s.
> "The Oregon Department of Forestry is a rogue agency and out of
> control," said Donald Fontenot of CFA. "They are more concerned
> about cutting down trees than they are about human life and safety!"
>
> In an attempt to stop active logging of the last 1% of mature
> coastal rainforest of its kind, the activist free-climbed a tree
> in Area II of the Acey timber sale, but had to jump to another
> while the former was being cut from underneath him. Three people
> who attempted to document the reckless endangerment remain in
> jail with bails set at $7,000 each!
>
> Within shouting distance of another activist perched in the
> tree-sit named Wisdom, the two were barely able to communicate
> throughout the night over the constant verbal abuse from the
> security stationed below the trees.
>
> "ODFs inhumane treatment of the protestors at Gods Valley sends a
> dire signal for the rights of concerned citizens to continue to
> express their opposition to the logging the last of the coastal
> temperate rainforest in our state forests," said Sarah Wald, a
> volunteer with Cascadia Forest Alliance.
>

> Wisdom is one of three tree-sits currently in Gods Valley. The
> other two tree-sits remain in Area IV. Area III, which contained
> tree over 100 years old was cut by Christian Futures in early
> August despite objections of the local community and against the
> advise of Governor John Kitzhaber, who directed ODF to stay away
> from older forest and sensitive areas. Tree-sits supported by the
> Cascadia Forest Alliance and a local coalition, the Hard Rain
> Alliance, have occupied tree-sits in Gods Valley since August.
