The U S Forest Service rejects environmental appeals on a salvage sale of about 6 700 acres burned by the Vivcash Fire east of Pecos in May 2000. Opponents warn erosion and wildlife impacts while noting road work and market factors may shape the outcome, including a local Espanola mill facing timber shortages.
