Environmental groups on Thursday sued the Forest Service over logging in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.
Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Environmental Advocacy Clinic filed the lawsuit Thursday on behalf of Standing Trees in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, asking the court to halt the Tarleton and Peabody West integrated resource projects until a thorough review has been conducted to determine potential impacts on the forest.
Standing Trees is an organization that is focused on protecting and restoring New England’s forests, primarily in New Hampshire and Vermont.
The organization argues that the two projects approved by the Forest Service will allow logging of 3,000 acres and construction of over 11 miles of permanent roads in the White Mountain National Forest.
