Plum Creek abandons road deal

Plum Creek Timber Co. http://www.plumcreek.com/ is abandoning a controversial deal brokered with Agriculture Undersecretary Mark Rey, citing strong public opposition.

“Although we continue to believe that the easement amendment would be beneficial to the general public, given the lack of receptivity, we have decided not to go forward with the amendment,” Plum Creek President and CEO Rick Holley wrote Monday, in a letter to Missoula County.

At issue were forest road easements, which allow the Forest Service and Plum Creek to share access across their intermingled lands.
