Oregonians want forests restored after wildfires, poll says
August 29, 2005
PORTLAND, Ore. - Most Oregonians want federal forests restored after they are burned by severe wildfires, according to a new poll.
The survey was sponsored by a group with a strong position on the issue, but was conducted by the independent Portland polling company Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall Inc.
The June poll of 607 registered voters across the state asked how fast and how far land managers should go to replace burned forests. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.
