What happens when a nine-year-old boy hears blood-curdling screams outside his remote California trailer — and decades later finds himself staring into massive glowing eyes deep in Oregon's Elliott State Forest?In this unforgettable and chilling episode, we welcome back David, a longtime listener and previous caller, to share his astonishing journey with the unexplained. David takes us from early childhood experiences in Junction City and Trinity Center, California — where a mysterious creature left claw marks at the top of a 10-foot trailer door — to a jaw-dropping series of events in the forests of southern Oregon in 2019.Over nine days of elk hunting, David, his wife, and his sister encountered vocalizations, unblinking reflective eyes, shadowy figures in the brush — and finally, a deafening roar that forced them to abandon camp in the middle of the night. But that's not all. David also reveals a life-changing encounter involving red orbs, alien beings... and a family of Sasquatch seemingly abducted alongside him.More than a Bigfoot story, this episode explores memory, mystery, and how the deepest forests still hold secrets science can't explain.

The Oregon State Land Board recently approved a plan to enroll the Elliott State Forest in the voluntary carbon credit market.  The forest spans more than 80,000 acres in southwestern Oregon near Coos Bay. Oregon is the second state behind Michigan to dedicate an entire state forest to storing harmful carbon emissions and selling the credits. State officials say the plan will help the state meet its conservation and carbon emission goals, but it isn’t without controversy. Critics say the voluntary market lacks sufficient government oversight and regulation, and Oregon State University and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians dropped out of the project late last year. Brett Brownscombe is the Elliott State Research Forest transition director at the Oregon Department of State Lands. He joins us with more details about the plan. 

The Elliott State Forest will be preserved by the Oregon Department of State Lands for carbon capture.

Today, we have not one, but two amazing guests talking about two important and timely topics: the Dakota Access Pipeline fight, and the recent Elliot State Forest drama.Bob Sallinger joins to walk me through the bombshell that Oregon State University just dropped on the Elliott State forest process, and why them walking away might actually be good news.But first, we'll hear a short excerpt of my conversation with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network about their ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th.  My conversation with Brenna was really fun and we covered way more ground than I could fit into this episode, so I'm releasing the extended interview as a bonus podcast.  I hope you give that a listen, I think fans of this show will really appreciate the full conversation!Speaking of our podcast feed, we have very few reviews and ratings, and it would mean a lot to me if a few more listeners gave us a rating and review. And, last plug I promise, it would mean a lot to us at the coast range association for you to become a monthly donor at coastrange.org, or click this donate link.  We are a small outfit, but we're extremely passionate about this work, and your support is critical to our ability to be effective.As always, my email is michael@coastrange.org.Research Links/Show Notes:Previous CRR interview w Bob Sallinger on the Elliot: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1046044/10000241Bird Conversation Oregon: https://www.birdconservationoregon.org/Oregon Dept of State Lands Elliott page: https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/Land/Pages/Elliott.aspxIndigenous Environmental Network: https://www.ienearth.org/IEN's DAPL action alert: https://www.ienearth.org/dapl-deis-public-comment-period-extended/Register for Dec 7th virtual comment writing party: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrcuusqjIiHNSQqFH0ID1davrVIBxBkAs1#/registrationFurther reading on DAPL:https://truthout.org/articles/5-years-after-standing-rock-native-tribes-still-fight-dakota-access-pipeline/https://www.npr.org/2023/09/08/1198492185/dakota-access-pipeline-river-crossing-environmental-reviewSupport the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

This week I'm talking with my friend Keith Tymchuk and all about the Elliott State Forest. We also go over his start to fishing, fishing and equipping your kids, hunting, mayoring, the art of compromise, the importance of timber and conservation, the North Umpqua, and the "Three Beer Problem" method.

The Oregon State Legislature could turn the Elliott State Forest into the "Elliott State Research Forest" by passing Senate Bill 1546 during the 2022 legislative session. Many have hailed SB 1546 as a grand compromise between loggers and environmentalists, and the Oregonian editorial board called it a "win" for the state of Oregon. However, few know the full history of the Elliott State Forest and its intended purpose—funding Oregon's schools. Listen to Cascade Policy Institute's President and CEO, John Charles, explain why Senate Bill 1546 is a bad deal for taxpayers, families, and students across the state.

Cristina Hubbard is executive director of Forest Web of Cottage Grove. Like the mycorrhizal fungal filaments beneath the forest floor, holding the ecosystem together, Forest Web pulls information and actions together from many local groups. Forest Web is also involved in protecting local parks and BLM old growth forests near Cottage Grove, like the Boehner Woods they convinced the BLM to designate as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). Cristina talks about their fight to protect the Elliott State Forest, Wolves in Oregon, and even the Roseburg BLM old growth forest threatened by the Lone Rock Timber's road right of way (of which Francis gives an update on it’s current status). Stay informed at their Facebook page: foerstwebofcottagegrove, web page https://www.forestweb-cg.org/, and email forestweb.cg@gmail.com

Gabe Scott is in-house-council for Cascadia Wildlands, an environmental group that monitors public land projects in the Umpqua watershed, including the Elliott State Forest, Roseburg BLM, Coos Bay BLM, and the Umpqua National Forest.

Oregon lawmakers unveiled an $8.2 billion transportation package, which will widen highways and shore up bridges. The money will come from a combination of gas and sales taxes, and maybe even tolls. We'll dig into the details of the proposal. We'll also hear why the state Land Board changed its mind and voted not to sell the Elliott State Forest. Plus we find out what flavor is in the running to become the official state pie. Host Geoff Norcross talks with OPB senior political reporter Jeff Mapes, Oregonian reporter Anna Marum, and EarthFix reporter Cassandra Profita.
