"For Second Year in a Row, President’s Forest Service Budget Proposes Massive Sell off of Public Lands..."

WASHINGTON (February 5, 2007) – For the second consecutive year, the President’s Forest Service budget includes a proposal to sell off up to $800 million of National Forest lands (pg 177 of President's FY 2008 budget). A similar proposal announced last year met with strong and widespread opposition from hunters, anglers, locally-elected officials, businesses, governors, and both Democratic and Republican Members of Congress.
