NEW HAMPSHIRE and Vermont are home to … the White Mountain and Green Mountain National Forest. Together they comprise some 1.2 million acres of the northern forest… This success is thanks to support from a broad coalition of interests, including the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, which was founded to help convince Congress that national forests east of the Mississippi River were essential to protecting large watersheds and the natural resources within them. …The principle of multiple use is being challenged currently by a Vermont-based lawsuit over two timber harvests in the White Mountain National Forest. …we believe the individuals behind this lawsuit are willfully misinformed. …By handcuffing the WMNF’s ability to manage for the multiple purposes for which it has always been carefully managed, the lawsuit attempts to undermine those efforts and the broad public support of national forests and their careful stewardship.
