U.S. Forest Service

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. Environmental groups say despite efforts to the contrary, there could still be unintentional harm.

The project in the Ottawa National Forest in the western Upper Peninsula would involve logging, gravel mine expansion and forest restoration efforts.
