River Runs Through It project weakens roadless and wildlife protections
Original: River Runs Through It erodes roadless, wildlife protections
A timber and land management plan known as 'River Runs Through It' is drawing criticism for eroding roadless-area and wildlife protections, according to coverage in Montana outlets. Critics say the project opens protected backcountry to roads and development, threatening habitat, while supporters typically frame such projects as forest health work. The debate has put land-use policy back in the local spotlight.
Why now: Conservation advocates and locals are reacting to a federal land project that would reduce protections for roadless wildlife habitat.
