Court reinstates road ban in national forests
finnman:
It's obvious that many on here do not have family involved in the timber industry or their jobs are not related to timber harvest :twocents:
Provide local income through timber harvest, pay construction companies to build the roads, pay them to remove the roads or gate them. Habitat inproves, if the habitat does not improve, the animal numbers keep falling, does it matter if there are no roads???? You don't have any animals to hunt!!!!! :twocents:

Your right Finnman. Some should take a drive around a few of the county's that relied on work from the our National Forests and see what happens. Lewis county is now over 14% unemployment. This isn't only because of the lack of work in the GP but it hasn't helped. Also, most of the NF in the west could be self sustaining when it comes to there budgets but we all know that will never happen.

If I'm remembering this right, from back when Clinton was in office. This only affects "wilderness areas"

WRONG! By law wilderness must be "untrammeled by man" meaning no roads allowed. When land is designated Wilderness roads are removed in most (or all) cases.
This was (and IS) an attempt by the green liberal left to impose de facto wilderness in other ares of the National Forests on the rest of us........

:yeah:
I believe Clinton's road ban was one of the last Executive Orders he signed. That is different from his Northwest Forest Plan which was established in 1994.
