Enviros Go After Their Own

Jon Roush, president of the Wilderness Society, is under attack by environmentalists for logging off an 80-acre patch of old growth and mature forest on his $2.5 million Bitterroot Valley, Mt., ranch.

Two prominent green writers who investigated the matter accused Roush of practicing "Nazi forestry" after his cut removed over 400,000 bd. ft., more than was logged last year from the entire surrounding northern halfof the 1.6-million acre Bitterroot Na- tional Forest.

Pacific Lumber , CRA assembled a displav that showcased redwood deckino anci sidino through product samples and poiter-size phol tographs. Hundreds ol pieces of literature were distributed, and CRA lollowed up on over 200 requests for more information.

Roush claimed his cut was performed well and that his land is "less sensitive" than that of the surrounding forest. Actually, his low-elevation ponderosa pine is among the rarest habitats in the Rockies, the environmentalist writers suggest.

Roush claimed he needed the money, despite suing the Forest Service in 1983 to prevent a similar cut on land adjacent to his, reportedly causing a lockdown that put entire communities out of work.
