“The U.S. Forest Service said Thursday it was ending a plan to sell timber in a Kentucky national forest and would consider environmental groups’ objections if the project is taken up in the future. Besides logging, the plan would have allowed building or refurbishing more than 20 miles of roads in part of the Daniel Boone National Forest in southeastern Kentucky. Environmental groups appealed in May and asked for a fuller environmental impact test and more time for public input.” (06/29/07)
