Court Decision Prevents Excessive Wisconsin Logging
Federal Judge Lynn Adelman issued a decision in ELPC’s favor, denying the U.S. Forest Service’s request to end an injunction on two timber sales in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The decisions enjoining these two timber sales, covering more than 16,500 acres, were issued in 2005, citing the failure of the Forest Service to consider the cumulative impacts of five concurrent timber sales across the forest on threatened and endangered species. Sign the petition: urge lawmakers and policy makers to slow the pace of logging of the CNNF.
