After a year of secret, behind-closed-door negotiations, the U.S. Forest Service recently authorized massive amounts of gas-powered chainsaw use in the largest contiguous Wilderness in the Lower 48 with no opportunities for public comment, no environmental review, and no regard for federal laws, including the Wilderness Act. Incredibly, the chainsaws in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness will not be fired up by Forest Service personnel, but by private commercial outfitters and guides. …Wilderness supporters need to voice their opposition to this ill-advised — and illegal — plan to unleash chainsaws in Wilderness with their members of Congress (202-224-3121) in order to protect the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness from this chainsaw massacre. If we can’t stop this assault in Idaho, we may soon see expanded chainsaw use by commercial interests all over the National Wilderness Preservation System.
