U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the following statement after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals applied their decision in Cottonwood Environmental Law Center v. Forest Service to rule against a forest health restoration project near Bozeman.

"Today's disastrous ruling against a commonsense project to reduce wildfire risk and protect Bozeman's watershed makes it even more urgent that we enact meaningful forest reform that will remove this sort of absurd regulatory burden."
