Logging Order with BWCA on the Map and Impact of Tariffs on Paddle Sports Industry

  • Resumen

  • The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is highlighted on a map of possible places for “increasing timber production” that was shared by federal officials in Washington D.C. last week.

    The order, signed April 3 by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, declares an emergency on more than 176,000 miles of national forest. The order calls for logging in order to increase timber production and reduce the risks associated with wildfires.

    The map accompanying the announcement clearly shows the emergency order applies to land protected as federally-designated wilderness across the nation, including the BWCA here in Minnesota. That said, the Forest Service informed Bloomberg Law that it logging won’t take place inside wilderness areas as part of the order.

    In related news, an expected loss of timber products is due to the highly-publicized tariff war between the U.S. and Canada.

    The Paddle and Portage Podcast team speaks on these topics in this news track.
