 Walden and Smith Introduce Logging Bills — KS Wild
Representative Greg Walden (R-OR-2) and Brian Baird (D-WA-3) recently introduced a bill, called the "Forest Emergency Recovery and Research Act" (HR4200) that sweeps aside protections for forests, fish and wildlife in order to rush logging and roadbuilding after normal, natural events that occur in National Forests.
Despite all of the green washing by Walden and Baird in a Resources Committee hearing on November 10, 2005, this bill is damaging to our forest ecosystems and cannot be defended as scientifically credible.
The Walden logging bill promotes a false assumption that something must be done after normal, natural disturbances on National Forests, and that logging, roadbuilding and artificial replanting are necessary “restoration” and “recovery” actions needed.
