JUNE 13, 2001 A number of environmental groups asked a federal judge last Friday to reinstate a ban on logging in roadless areas of the Tongass National Forest. District Judge James K. Singleton has already temporarily stopped logging in some areas of the forest. He has ordered the US Forest Service to conduct a new environmental study on 9.4 million acres of roadless land there. Some Alaska Native corporations have opposed timber bans for fear it would harm them economically. Get the Story:
