Obama admin calls time out on roadless forest activity
The Obama administration paused roadless-area development in national forests across the West for one year, shifting decision making to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The order blocks timber sales in Alaska's Tongass and exempts Idaho, with potential extensions and a path to a long term policy. Environmentalists praised the move amid Republican concerns of political influence.
