Colorado logging project appealed

  • 05/03/2002

Conservation groups are appealing a Forest Service decision to log roadless lands as part of the Upper South Platte Watershed Protection and Restoration Project in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. The administrative appeal of the January decision, filed by seven conservation groups, marks the second time that conservationists have challenged proposed logging in these roadless areas - three of which have been proposed by citizens for wilderness protection.
