Consequences of the Ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Forest Management Projects

Abstract

As agreed with your office, this report addresses (1) the number of the Forest Service's timber sales and vegetative management projects (such as trail construction work and prescribed burning) suspended as a result of the appeals court's decision and (2) the types of financial, economic, environmental, and other consequences that the Forest Service and other stakeholders have attributed to the appeals court's decision. As agreed, we obtained data describing the suspended projects and the related consequences when available. When data were unavailable, we obtained the opinions of Forest Service officials and other stakeholders, including environmental, community, and recreational groups, about the potential consequences. When possible, we provide quantitative information on the consequences attributed to the appeals court's decision.
