The Bush administration violated federal environmental laws when wrote new rules governing America’s National Forests. It is unclear what today’s ruling means for the Pike San Isabel National Forest and Cimmarron and Commanche National Grasslands. A new plan for the grasslands is in it’s final phase, it is the first in the nation written under the new rules. Efforts to re-write the plan for the Pike San Isabel were launched last December, it is in the very preliminary phase.
