The Biden administration’s December announcement that it plans to protect from logging old-growth trees such as those slated for removal in the Yaak’s Black Ram timber sale, is a reason for everyone to celebrate. Few old-growth forest lands remain in the West and even fewer in Montana. Losing these forests to the saw is counter to all our best interests. These forests are critical to mitigating climate change and once lost, will take centuries to replace. We simply don’t have the time.
