The second and third reports in our thought provoking forest health series are hMini#2eaded your way – just in time for what we believe will be heated debate in the U.S. Senate concerning the fate of wildfire-ravaged western national forests.  

No. 2 is “Will This Environmental Disaster In Montana’s Bitterroot National Forest Be The U.S. Senate’s Forest Legacy:  Or Will This Recent Thinning In South Dakota’s Black Hills National Forest Be The Senate’s Legacy?"  

No. 2 focuses on the forest health crisis in Montana and South Dakota, pivotal states in the looming Senate battle. Were Democrats Max Baucus, Montana, and Tom Daschle, South Dakota, to vote for a measure that mirrors the legislation House members approved in May, many as yet undecided Democrats would probably follow suit. Can you image a future in which the West’s forests are cared for by garbage collectors and surgeons?  We can, and we tell you about it in this special report.

No. 3, the companion to No. 2 is, “What The Devil Is Our Government’s Forest Management Objective.”

No. 3 is a photo essay accompanied by a hard-hitting perspective in which Evergreen publisher Jim Petersen suggests that the only thing being protected in the public’s forests today is the political influence of environmental groups whose decade-old objective has been to retain power for themselves while disenfranchising other stakeholders. 

These reports follow on the heels of last month’s report, “Time Is Running Out For Southwest Forests: Will Congress Act Before It’s Too Late?”  There is a limited supply of this issue left for purchase.  If you wish to order, click on "On Line Store" on the main menu to purchase any one or all three issues with your credit card.
