The situation
What’s happening to Chattahoochee
The Foothills Landscape Project is the largest logging proposal in the Southern Appalachians, 55,000 acres of commercial timber harvest across the headwaters of the Chattahoochee. That is more logging in one-fifth of this forest than occurred across four states’ worth of national forests in a decade.
