Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Road Building to Be Allowed on National Forest 'Roadless' Areas May 06, 2005 — By John Heilprin, Associated Press WASHINGTON — The last 58.5 million acres of untouched national forests, which President Clinton had set aside for protection, were opened to possible logging, mining and other commercial uses by the Bush administration on Thursday. New rules from the U.S. Forest Service cover some of the most pristine federal land in 38 states and Puerto Rico. Ninety-seven percent of it is in 12 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Road building that will be paid for with our tax dollars. Logs that will be sold to the highest bidder which usually works out to less than $1/lineal foot for trees that sell to mills for $600/1000 board feet (18 " diameter, 60' of tree). So, $60 plus a max of $180 to cut and haul for $600 for trees that are hauled over roads that we paid for but can't use (hikers, mountain bike riders aren't allowed on these roads).
