Environmentalists tried to block loggers from starting work Monday on the first salvage timber sale inside an old-growth forest reserve burned by a major 2002 fire.

Authorities reported 10 arrests by midday as they reopened a road blocked by the demonstrators.

At dawn, about 30 people were at a bridge leading to the timber sale in the Siskiyou National Forest, demanding that loggers wait until two lawsuits challenging the logging are heard.
