Episode Details

Congress just unleashed the Congressional Review Act — a rarely used legal weapon — to dismantle decades-old land-use plans managing everything from logging to grazing on public lands. In a move legal experts are calling the “nuclear option,” lawmakers are now facing a major legal showdown as conservation groups like Cascadia Wildlands sue to invalidate timber projects like the Aloha Trout Forest Management Plan, arguing these plans don’t meet CRA standards.

Officials say they were warned about the fallout — now the courts must decide by August, with the outcome potentially altering how we manage America’s public lands for years to come.
