WASHINGTON — A Bush administration plan to sell more than 300,000 acres
of national forest to help pay for rural schools contains a disproportionate
amount of land in the South and Midwest — while primarily benefiting schools
in three West Coast states, a new analysis shows.
Nearly 60,000 acres in 13 Southern states and another 50,000 acres in 10
Midwestern states would be sold under the plan, while just 18,000 acres in
forest-rich Oregon and Washington would be sold, according to an analysis by
the Southern Environmental Law Center.
