Anti-loggers hit trails in United States, Canada

Article Abstract:

Environmental groups such as Greenpeace and the Sierra Club are leading international boycott of forest products from Canada and timber logging in US national forests. Anti-loggers are stating that commercial logging in national forests significantly impacts wildlife habitat. The Sierra Club suggests that national forests need to be used for recreational purposes only because public recreation offers a more significant source of income to the domestic economy than the federal timber sale program.
