National Forests

This Land Is Not Your Land

Woodie Guthrie wrote the famous song that cried out, “This land is your land, this land is my land, this land was made for you and me.” He did not subscribe to the idea that the air we breathe, the water we drink, the forests, the hills, and the plains we traverse are all here to enrich powerful corporations, billionaires, and people like President Trump and his family.  Trump is moving the business of preserving national forests from Washington, D.C., to Utah. The expectation is that those who would privatize public lands will be better able to rake in profits from the privatization. How dare working people think that public forests and national parks belong to them?

Trump Illegally Opened Western Colorado Forests To Coal Mining

Denver— A federal appeals court today ruled that the U.S. Forest Service illegally approved a loophole allowing the coal industry to despoil unroaded National Forest lands in western Colorado. The decision gives new hope for the protection of Colorado’s North Fork Valley and for the climate. “The Trump administration can’t sacrifice public lands at the expense of our climate,” said Jeremy Nichols, WildEarth Guardians’ climate and energy program director.  “Today’s ruling is another win for the American public over the dirty coal industry and their climate-denying cronies in the federal government.” “The Forest Service failed to provide a logically coherent explanation for its decision to eliminate the Pilot Knob Alternative,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit wrote.
