		<description><![CDATA[Shawnee National Forest is proposing to re-start commercial logging operations after being enjoined by federal courts from commercial logging since 1997. They have now rammed a new plan through which relies on logging, burning, and the like for much of the forest. Although these projects have been highly controversial in the past, have lost millions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to logging for forest health, the less interested the
loggers are in your cutting plan, the more likely the plan is
credible. Which isn&#8217;t to imply that we solve problems (bad logging in
the past) by doing more of what caused the problem in the first place
(more bad logging with fake green eco-talk). Leaving the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Shawnee National Forest proposes to burn 5600 acres of forest in
the Illinois Ozarks as a  Healthy Forest Act project. These projects are supposed to be for
protecting urban-wildland interface areas with an extremely high risk
of wildfire, but according to the Greenfire Consulting analysis of the

		<description><![CDATA[Generations of scientists from the Morton Arboretum have investigated
forest and woodland plants across the globe, bringing back thousands
of trees, shrubs and other plants to study and grow on 1,700 acres in
Lisle. But for all their knowledge of far-flung ecosystems, the
