Judge Blocks Timber Sales in Three States
By GENE JOHNSON
Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE --
A federal judge who struck down a Bush administration decision to ease
logging restrictions last summer issued an injunction Monday blocking
as many as 144 timber sales in three states.
The sales in Washington, Oregon and northern California had been
approved under the administration's decision to stop requiring that
the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management look for and protect
rare plants and animals before logging on 5.5 million acres covered by
the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan.
