Challenge to Post-Wildfire Logging

In Earth Island Inst. v. Carlton, No. 09-16914, an appeal from the district court’s order denying plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the U.S. Forest Service from conducting post-wildfire logging in the Plumas National Forest, the court affirmed where 1) the Forest Service satisfied the requirement to assess MIS habitat in the project area; and 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the Forest Service’s tree mortality guidelines were not enforceable.
