Bush administration proposes lifting roadless forest rule
The Bush administration proposed letting states decide whether to keep a ban on road-building in remote national forest areas, replacing a Clinton era rule. The plan covers about 58.5 million acres of roadless land within 191 million acres nationwide and would allow logging if states petition to remove protections. Environmentalists call it a timber industry giveaway while supporters say it ends legal uncertainty and aids wildfire protection and rural economies. Idaho, with 9.3 million roadless acres, has challenged the Clinton rule and may face disputes over the Clearwater River area planned for timber sales to reduce wildfire risk.
