The situation
What’s happening to Nantahala-Pisgah
A million acres of cove hardwoods, spruce-fir ridgelines, and some of the most biodiverse temperate forests on Earth. The crown jewels of the southern Appalachians. A new forest plan dramatically increases logging targets, including in old-growth stands that took centuries to develop and harbor species found nowhere else.
