Edit: KEA Suit Vs. Corps Is Good One

This is one timber transaction we’re happy to see environmentalists jump into. Over the years this newspaper has been critical of environmentalist groups that have tied up timber sales and delayed or prevented the very goal those groups purport to support: The health of our forests. Lawsuits have been the wooden swords wielded by some of these groups against not just commercial interests, but U.S. Forest Service professionals backed by scientific research illuminating the best ways to maintain healthy forests. Last week, however, a new twist in the lawsuit game emerged when Kootenai Environmental Alliance filed suit against the U.S. Corps of Engineers over an urban stretch of trees that is near and dear to many a Coeur d’Alene heart. Only this time, we think the litigation has roots in reason/ Mike Patrick , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you agree with the Coeur d’Alene Press editorial that the KEA suit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to save the Dike Road trees is a worthy one?
