Bush Puts Giant Sequoias on the Chopping Block

Under the guise of forest fire prevention, the Bush Administration’s Forest Service has proposed logging in California’s Sequoia National Monument, home to some of the world’s tallest and oldest trees, reaching ages of 3,200 years or more.  Also at risk are the Pacific fisher, the California spotted owl, and many other threatened species dependent on ancient forest habitat.
