Plan to open roadless forests to logging proposal sparks debate
The Bush administration proposes letting states decide on road-building in remote national forest areas, replacing a Clinton rule and potentially opening about 58.5 million acres to logging after a 60 day comment period. Idaho leads in affected land with 9.3 million acres and faces a key dispute over the Clearwater River area. Governors would petition the federal government to block road-building or allow multiple use, with state plans judged case by case. Environmental groups allege a timber industry giveaway while officials claim reduced legal uncertainty and new conservation efforts.
