John Salazar: “I wouldn't support stopping anyone from using our legal system to protect our forests.”

We have been able to address some of the issues along the urban interface areas, but, as you see, the devastation is incredible in Colorado.

I believe it is time we looked for a bipartisan legislation that will once again allow forest-management decisions to be made by those who wear the emblem of the Forest Service.

I will not tolerate the kind of improper actions highlighted in the Inspector General's findings.

The Mountain pine beetle epidemic in Colorado and throughout the West is devastating. It is destroying our forests and threatening our communities.
