Letter - From the January 24, 2005 issue by David Edelson

I would gladly learn to love the Healthy Forests Restoration Act if it were truly designed to promote healthy forests. Instead, the act provides cover for logging the remaining large trees in our national forests in the name of fuels reduction. What’s next — HCN endorsement of the president’s Clear Skies Initiative?
