Should commercial logging on public lands become a thing of the past? Some environmentalists think so, and their “zero cut” campaign is making waves around the West. This is just one of the topics of the Forest Guardians’ first annual conference, to be held at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, N.M., June 20-22.

Call the Forest Guardians at 505/ 988-9126.
