The Biden administration has identified more than 175,000 square miles of old growth and mature forests on U.S. government lands. Those older forests cover an area larger than California but are under threat by fires, insects, disease and other side-effects of climate change. Administration officials say they plan a new rule to help protect the nation's woodlands. Environmentalists hope that will mean new restrictions on logging. Skeptics from the timber industry and in Congress want more focus on fighting wildfires by thinning forests.Sat, 22 Apr 2023 12:00:00 GMT/regional-news/2023-04-22/us-inventory-old-forests-cover-area-larger-than-californiaMatthew Brown, Associated PressUnderrepresented communities want to see important heritage landmarks recognized

Colorado's ski areas spend about $25 million a year in fees in exchange for being on federal land, and only a small fraction returns to those forests for management. The Denver Post reports on a bill recently introduced in Congress that would allow forests that bring in large amounts of ski fees to allocate some of that money for staffing.Mon, 21 Jun 2021 15:36:41 GMT/news/2021-06-21/overrun-national-forests-prompt-action-from-u-s-congressJustin Wingerter, The Denver Post, Associated Press
