Friends of the Clearwater Moscow, Idaho | Keeping the Clearwater Basin Wild, Idaho.
Friends of the Clearwater has published a report on the ineffectiveness of the National Roadless Rule and Idaho Roadless Rule to protect roadless wildlands from logging. The Forest Service appears to be exploiting exceptions and permissions in both rules, with its analyses shifting to use these exceptions in an unchecked manner. As a result we are losing irreplaceable roadless areas to development. There needs to be a substantive review of both rules and of the remaining roadless lands in the United States.
