Forest defenders have launched a tree sit to stop old growth logging on federal Bureau of Land Management land in Southern Oregon. Community members are opposing the Poor Windy timber sale, which targets thousands of acres of mature and old growth forest.

Scott gets an update from two forest defenders fighting the timber sale. They talk about the campaign, community support for the tree-sit and how forest defense is climate defense.
