- Judge halts Montana logging project over concerns for grizzly bear habitat
A federal judge halted a Montana logging project over concerns the U.S. Forest Service failed to use best available science to assess its impact on grizzly bear habitat. The preliminary injunction, issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen DeSoto, pauses the Greenhorn Vegetation Project until a lawsuit by the Alliance of the Wild Rockies and other environmental groups is resolved, citing a flawed 10-acre habitat standard.
