Land Swap May Limit McCroskey Use

Item: USFS land swap with timber company could end some public use of McCroskey Park/Ralph Bartholdt, St. Maries Gazette-Record

More Info: A park in southern Benewah County could lose its quiet composure if the Forest Service strikes a deal with a Clearwater timber company. The roads and trails that wind through Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park south of Tensed jog back and forth from state to federal land, but the federal parcels may be turned over to a timber company as part of a land exchange; something a group of park lovers don’t want.

Question: Does this sound like a good deal to you?
