If Coho Salmon were thriving they would not be listed as a threatened species and the streams in the Oregon coast range would not be listed as temperature impaired. 

Oregon Coast Coho salmon are in bad shape because of the practices that AFRC and now Travis stand for - clearcutting right up to the stream banks, aerial spraying toxic pesticides without limits, logging on steep slopes and cutting old growth.

AFRC and Travis's opinion is green-washing plain and simple - bought and paid for by destructive practices that leave little for wildlife, fish and Oregonians to enjoy.

People who truly care about the environment still can use wood products without being hypocrites - just make sure the products you use are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.  AFRC has backed a watered-down, industry friendly "certification" called Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) -- so you should avoid SFI if you oppose heavy pesticide use, clearcutting, old growth logging and harming our fisheries.
