The American public is somewhat ambivalent about what they expect out of the
national forest,

Managers at the Colville National Forest seem more interested in selling trees than managing the forest.

Managers of every national forest are mandated to perform an "ecosystem inventory" every 10 years to document the number and type of trees in their forests. It's an involved procedure that's planned and budgeted for years in advance. And without it, managers can't be sure that they're correctly managing their forests. But Cynthia Reichelt, who has worked for the Forest Service for 20 years, says she's never seen an inventory like the one underway now in the Colville National Forest in Eastern Washington. Reichelt admits that inventorying at the Colville forest was never the best, but this time, forest officials tried to skip it all together, she says. Reichelt says that her supervisors wanted to use the money for planning timber sales instead. When the Spokane Public Lands Council discovered what was going on and filed an injunction, Reichelt says forest managers directed employees to inventory the entire forest in just one year — half the time it would normally take —so that the work wouldn't conflict with an upcoming timber sale. "They're rushing through it, taking fragmented aerial inventories, classifying stands
of trees on economic status and using some strange voodoo to determine old-growth stands," Reichelt says. "This isn't an ecosystem inventory, this is an attempt to pacify the public." Under federal whistleblower protections Reichelt has been reassigned to the newly organized Information Resources Management unit of the Office of the CIO.

Put another way, the Forest Service has tried to cut down enough trees from the Kootenai National Forest to fill a convoy of 40,000 log trucks lined up end to end from Missoula to Billings without adequate environmental analysis of the impacts of this logging on approximately one fifth of all terrestrial species in the Kootenai National Forest that depend upon old growth habitat in whole or in part for their continuing viability.

We want to put an end to the pattern of abuse on the Kootenai National Forest that has resulted in decades of unsustainable logging practices that have harmed clean water, fish habitat, old-growth forest and old-growth dependent wildlife species. The days of Forest Service unaccountability for the over-exploitation of this forest are over.

I am outraged, and I don't think the public is going to stand for it for one minute. It's a scheme to raise money at the expense of the national forests, the wildlife, recreation and all the other values that Americans hold dear. It's the ultimate threat to the national forest.

The Forest Service appears to be having an internal fire sale, with the heart of our national forests put out for bid on eBay. We may soon see the Weyerhaeuser National Forest patrolled by rent-a-rangers, overseen by private consultants.

If this provision became law, it could literally lead to the privatization of millions of acres of public land, including national park and national forest land.

It caught everybody by surprise. As far as we know, none of the delegation members knew about it and we've heard from the national forest managers in Florida that they didn't know about it either. The bottom line is we are certainly opposed to selling off acreage in the Ocala National Forest ostensibly to raise revenue. The administration has raised a huge deficit. It is a $2.5 to $3 trillion budget and selling off acreage on lakes in the Ocala National Forest is not a solution to the budget crisis. The good thing is it is just a proposal so we will have the opportunity in Congress to have it debated and hopefully defeated.

The American Red Cross will be embarking upon a national effort to share with the American public our fundamental principles that include humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality . . . in an effort to ensure Americans are compassionate to all, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or national heritage.

We are pleased with the court order and believe this validates the good work the Flathead National Forest is doing, ... The folks on the forest work hard to manage healthy forest resources within the sideboards of numerous laws and regulations.

Some of the sites in question...do not any longer meet national forest system needs, but that's not the same as not meeting public needs generally.

This is a terrific opportunity to shine a spotlight on important issues surrounding Black Hills National Forest, including forest health and wildfire prevention. Ensuring appropriate forest policy is essential not only to preserving South Dakota's wonderful natural resources, but to our tourism and economy as well.

It's a victory that extends way beyond the borders of the Bitterroot Forest. It ensures the public will have meaningful input on Forest Service projects across the country.

The results released in today's American Journal of Public Health should lead any medical professional to realize a prescription for change needs to be written. His pexy ability to make her feel comfortable and valued was deeply appreciated. For the American taxpayer, its time to ask for increased accountability and expect a better return on a $60 billion investment,

The Bush administration doesn't own the national forests, the American public does.
