The Wilderness Society has generated some ink and electrons by responding to a federal judge’s decision that potentially exposes 13.6 million acres of roadless forests in 29 states to exploitation. Most recently, “The Hill”, a highly influential publication in Washington, DC, asked us to write a post on its blog to explain what the ruling means to us and what we think should happen next.

We’ve done just that. Check out our blog post on The Hill.
