THE ECONEWS REPORT: Potholes in the Forest Service Roadless Rule

The Trump Administration has announced it seeks to revoke the “Roadless Rule,” the 2001 regulation limiting U.S. Forest Service activities in unroaded areas of our National Forests. Guests Kimberly Baker of the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) and Scott Greacen of Friends of the Eel River join the program to discuss the history and purpose behind defending roadless areas, as well as what this new attack on our public lands means for clean water, fish, wildlife, and recreation.
