The debate centers on whether logging is allowed in "roadless areas," specifically, 313 acres in the Kilkenny Inventoried Roadless Area (2005). This would be part of the larger (1000 acre) Mill Brook logging proposal. Decision is expected Feb. 16, that is, the USFS decision. There may be further "decisions." Not to get into specific politics--let's not go there--but this project was launched under the current administration, I assume, which expires in a few days. I don't know if that will make a difference or whether it could affect decisions retroactively.
