In an eleventh-hour bid to protect stands of old growth trees in sensitive natural areas deep in the Nantahala National Forest, conservationists on April 30 called on the U.S. Forest Service to scrap what they call a bad plan based on outdated science that does not consider climate change.
The group, led by Chattooga Conservancy Executive Director Nicole Hayler, gathered at the Forest Service headquarters in Asheville to present a petition more than 1,300 names strong to reconsider the Southside Project, which they say is rife with issues and which they ve been fighting for years.
The project calls for commercial logging dispersed throughout an analysis of more than 29,000 acres in southeastern Macon County and southern Jackson County, just east of Highlands.
