Bush Fire Plan Strikes a Spark

By Dan Gorenstein on Tuesday, August 27, 2002.

Members of New Hampshire?s timber industry are applauding the president?s plan to ease restrictions on logging in national forests. With Oregon?s 471 thousand acre Biscuit fire last week, President George W. Bush said forest thinning is the best way to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires that have come to be routine in western states. The White Mountain National Forest, however, isn?t very susceptible to large-scale fires. And as NHPR?s Dan Gorenstein reports, some local environmentalists call the president?s plan a gift to logging interests.
