Two groups have filed a lawsuit to halt a Red Lodge-area logging project, approved by the Forest Service this spring, claiming it will be conducted in âsome of the best remaining wildlife habitat in the landscape.â
Alliance for the Wild Rockies and Native Ecosystems Council filed the suit in District Court in Missoula on Monday, the second suit they have filed against a project that dates back to 2012. It s unfortunate to have to take a federal agency to court a second time over this logging project, but federal agencies have to follow the law, just like the rest of us,â said Mike Garrity, executive director of the Alliance for the Wild Rockies, in a news release.
