The case centers around the Forest Service's alleged failure to properly study the massive environmental and climate impacts of its timber targets and the logging projects it designs to fulfill them.

Key Points:

The case centers around the Forest Service's alleged failure to properly study the massive environmental and climate impacts of its timber targets and the logging projects it designs to fulfill them.
Each year, the Forest Service and Department of Agriculture set timber targets, which the Forest Service is required to meet through logging on public lands.
But rising timber targets push the agency to clearcut forests and log carbon-dense mature and old-growth forests.
Internal Forest Service documents show that achieving timber targets is the agency's "#1 priority."

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acrow , a leading international bridge engineering and supply company, is pleased to announce two of its modular steel bridges were installed recently to reconnect flood-damaged routes in different locations within San Luis Obispo County in California’s Central Coast region.
Because the route is used by first responders and for evacuation in the event of fire, San Luis Obispo County quickly built a temporary access road, but required a longer-term detour solution.
The modular bridge is expected to be in place for several years until a permanent crossing is designed and constructed.
The bridges were rented to Souza Construction, Inc., of San Luis Obispo, who was the installation contractor under contract to San Luis Obispo County on both projects.

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, September 12, 2023

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With health impacts from wildfire smoke estimated to be one of the largest costs of wildfires, a new study shows that improving the health of California's forests can not only reduce the risk of wildfire, it can also benefit people's health. There may even be an opportunity for the health sector to be part of the forest restoration solution. In a future where smoke is inevitable, better collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies with interested healthcare partners is a pathway to building healthier forests and communities.

Key Points:

It has been shown that restoring forests can reduce wildfire risk , and that smoke impacts may be one of the largest health costs of wildfires
in recent years.
This report explores how forest management, including the use of beneficial fire, is linked to reducing overall smoke burden on populations and resulting impacts on human health and health organizations.
The report finds that many health organizations see the value in engaging with forest management, but they need more information on the potential benefits to people's health and the health sector.
The interviews uncovered health sector organizations' experiences with wildfire smoke, finding that there are real costs of wildfire smoke, often burdening rural, resource-constrained, or otherwise vulnerable communities.
