Two conservation groups are suing the Trump administration, challenging a U.S. Department of Agriculture rule that strips public comment requirements from most national forest projects. In a federal lawsuit, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club accuse the Trump administration of violating environmental law by approving an interim final rule that eliminates the requirement for federal agencies to solicit public comments during project reviews. “It’s illegal and unjust for Trump to shut out the American public while wrecking our national forests so mining, logging and oil companies can make a quick buck,” said Wendy Park, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “We’re suing to make sure people have a say in what happens on their public lands, as they have for 50 years.” The conservation groups named the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service — along with their administrators — as defendants.
