[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Montana BHA

Billed by Montana’s congressional delegation as a top forest-management priority, a measure to roll back a federal appellate court ruling known as the “Cottonwood Decision” has advanced through a key U.S. Senate committee, signaling a potential reversal of the 2015 mandate that critics say has had a chilling effect on dozens of timber projects that would improve the health of national forests.
