Settlement ends sale of timber in Lincoln Forest
ALBUQUERQUE AP A settlement halts sale of 2.5 million board feet and allows 2 million board feet to be cut in the Lincoln National Forest under a lawsuit by environmentalists. The agreement protects habitat for the Mexican spotted owl and the go Shawk while permitting White Sands Forest Products Co. to harvest in less sensitive zones. Spokeswoman Letty Belin says the accord shows environmentalists do not seek forest shutdown. The groups sued after the Forest Service plans were appealed and rejected, and a federal judge briefly blocked logging in Polson and Scott Able areas.
