The U.S. Forest Service is proposing a massive logging project in the Ottawa National Forest, which covers the furthest western corner of the Upper Peninsula, where it borders Wisconsin.
The proposed project could log more than 80,000 acres of forest land. An environmental assessment by the federal government says the project would have, quote, “no significant impact.”
But environmental groups say despite efforts to the contrary, there could still be unintentional harm. We talk with reporter Laura Herberg, from Bridge Michigan, whose full story is here.
