Over a million and a half acres of roadless U.S. National Forest Lands will remain that way in New Mexico and millons more through out the west because of a court victory today. A large measure of the credit goes to Governor Richardson and AG Patsy Madrid for being the first to sign on to the effort at overturning the bush administration's attempt to destroy the roadless areas created by President Clinton. The AG of California and the Governors of Oregon and Washington also joined this lawsuit.This is a victory for our watersheds in the roadless forests. It is a victory for hunters, fisherman, and all outdoor enthusiasts.
