Should Minnesotas Forests Be Deemed Road Less Once Again?
Recently there has been a national debate regarding our precious forests and woodlands. The repeal of a road less designation has affected not only Minnesota, but many other states as well. However, Minnesotans are facing a dilemma unlike other states where the solution is much more evident. In 2001, Bill Clinton enacted regulations declaring 58 million acres of forest road less throughout the nation, including some 65,000, right here in Minnesota. Now, President Bush has dropped these protections and opened all of the previously guarded land up to logging, mining, and development. Nearly a dozen other states are displeased with the new designation and in order to reinstate the road less status governors from each are petitioning to bring woodland conservation back to their states. Among eco-conscious Minnesotans, this may seem like a natural response, however there is confusion over what would be the best plan of action and accordance among unexpected groups.
