Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Hoping to give himself a green sheen, President Bush traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday to engage in trail work for a few minutes and talk about character. " There's a grand vision embodied in these mountains, " he said. " And the vision is that we can teach our children right from wrong. " He also criticized environmentalists who are concerned that fire management plans might be used by the Bush administration to boost logging levels on federal lands. Bush said, " I know there are some in our country who want to just, you know, let the forests fall apart. We're not going to let that happen in this administration. " More than 125 protesters greeted Bush, waving signs calling for more wilderness protection and no drilling the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. straight to the source: Washington Post, Dana Milbank, 15 Aug 2001 < TARGET= " _blank " >http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11214-2001Aug14.h\ tml> straight to the source: Denver Rocky Mountains News, M.E.
