- Conservationists take partial win in case over Montana grizzly, trout habitat
Western conservation groups partially won their case against the U.S. Forest Service over the impact of road and vehicle access on grizzly bears and bull trout in the Bitterroot National Forest. A Montana federal judge ruled that the agencies failed to adequately assess the environmental effects of Amendment 40, which removed road-density restrictions, and did not properly consult on bull trout habitat.
