Several of her recent cases target the U.S. Forest Service’s efforts to evade the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when making major decisions that affect National Forests in California and beyond. Ms. Polsky’s talk will focus on pending litigation, initiated by the California Attorney General, that seeks to overturn the Bush Administration’s repeal of the wildly popular “Roadless Rule.” Before its May 2005 repeal, the Roadless Rule protected 58 million National Forest acres from roadbuilding and logging, and was likened to the 1964 Wilderness Act in its preservative effect on federal lands. The Roadless Repeal case, which pits the States of California, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico against the U.S. Forest Service, will be argued by Ms. Polsky in San Francisco in June.
