script iconPreshow #2 Cowboy
Return to index of stories... 		A shooting sport that takes us back to the "Wild West" here in New Hampshire and around the world.
script iconHello/Intro Logging
Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is off. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Just before he left office in January, 2001, President Bill Clinton signed into law the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
That policy banned any further logging or commercial activitiy in nearly sixty million acres of national forest.
Under the Rule, the roadless areas in national forests are now protected from road construction, drilling and mining operations, and most logging.
Last month, the Bush administration proposed reversing the rule.
Instead, the states will assume a larger role in deciding which areas remain roadless, and which areas are open for business.
About 380-thousand acres of the White Mountain National Forest are protected under the Roadless Rule.
If the rule is rescinded, about 45-thousand acres would be opened up to commercial logging and road building.
Recently, a coalition that opposes these rule changes spoke out.
script iconIntro Roadless Rule
Return to index of stories... 		Joining me in the studio to talk about the Roadless Rule are John Demos, Northeast Regional Director of the American Lands Alliance, and Jasen Stock, Executive Director of the NH Timberland Owners Association.

Or e-mail them to State-Petition-Roadless@FS dot FED dot US.
script iconIntro Taylor Logging
Return to index of stories... 		Now a closer look at a modern day logging operation.
We turn to Steve Taylor the state Commissioner of Agriculture as we he continues to share bits and pieces of his "Real New Hampshire" with us.
script iconTag Taylor Logging
Return to index of stories... 		We asked Jeff Eames of Fort Mountain Land & Timber what he thinks about striking down the roadless rule in the national forests.
Will it affect his business? He thinks it will be good for the logging industry and for him.
He also believes there is a lot of consideration and protective steps before national forest land is harvested.
script iconIntro Cowboy Shoot
Return to index of stories... 		Finally-- a look at one of the fastest growing sports in the country.
It's called Cowboy Action Shooting.

The group has more than 60-thousand members and is represented in all 50 states and 18 countries worldwide.
There are five clubs in New Hampshire.
