Trump-era change allowing the logging of old-growth forests violates laws, judge says

Quick Glance: Court: Trump-era rule change allows illegal logging of old-growth forests

A federal judge has found that a rule change from the Trump era, which allowed for the logging of old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest, violates several laws.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Hallman found that the U.S. Forest Service violated the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Forest Management Act, and the Endangered Species Act when it amended a protection that had been in place since 1994.

Hallman recommended that the Forest Service's environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact should be vacated and that the agency should be required to prepare a comprehensive environmental impact statement related to the change.

The Forest Service did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

Quick Glance: Court Rules Trump's Last-Minute Attack on Old-Growth Trees Illegal

Two days before leaving office, a political appointee for President Donald Trump removed protections from old-growth trees in Oregon and Washington.

These protections were implemented in the mid-1990s to safeguard the Pacific Northwest's old-growth forests, which were at risk due to decades of logging.

The protections covered trees in six national forests in eastern Oregon and Washington, spanning over seven million acres of public land.

A judge agreed that the last-minute rule change violated environmental protection laws and sided with the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
