The Bureau of Land Management has appealed a federal judge's order that halted a logging project in Oregon over concerns about old-growth forest protections. The ruling had blocked the agency from proceeding with timber sales, and the appeal sets up a fresh legal fight over how public lands with mature and old-growth trees are managed. Environmental groups have pushed to preserve such forests, while the agency argues its project complies with federal law.
