Environmental group Conservation Congress asked a California court Monday to block a timber project in the state that will affect the northern spotted owl, saying an injunction is necessary to hold the U.S. Forest Service accountable and won't disrupt timber supplies.
A California federal judge on Thursday ruled the U.S. Forest Service didn't take a hard enough look at the environmental effects a timber project in the state's coastal mountain range would have on the northern spotted owl, saying the government arbitrarily and capriciously failed to consider more conservation-friendly options.
