Article Abstract:

The US Forest Service's planned forest management policy to protect national forests has raised mixed reactions from forest industry leaders and environmentalists.

There she goes again

Article Abstract:

Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) introduced legislation that would stop commercial logging in the national forests. The title of the bill is the National Forest Protection and Restoration Act, and it has 46 co-sponsors. However, the bill is considered too radical and magazine readers are encouraged to contact their Congressperson.
