The Hungry Horse Ranger District has proposed the Moccasin Granite Project, which aims to log a 67,536-acre area near Glacier National Park to mitigate wildfire risks and enhance forest health. The plan, which includes constructing new temporary roads, has raised concerns about its impact on grizzly bear habitats, potential habitat loss, and increased wildfire risks, while also facing criticism for its reliance on flawed assumptions about fuel treatment effectiveness. Public comments on the proposal are due by January 15.
