Explore the problems being experienced by southern Oregon counties as a result of the expiration of federal timber payments. Investigative reporter Amelia Templeton (SOPTV — EARTHFIX) will reveal her intrepid and inquisitive nature as she moderates a live panel discussion between timber, government, and environmental interests in front of a live studio audience.

Timber receipts could make up some of the loss. LOCAL FOCUS will ask policy makers, biologists, and land managers the question, "Should logging increase on public forests?"
