Cattle graze in an Oregon national forest in this Capital Press file photo. A judge has rejected a lawsuit that opposed grazing on 165,000 acres of national forest land in Southeast Oregon.
Environmentalists have failed to convince the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that grazing authorizations unlawfully harmed bull trout on seven allotments in Oregon’s Malheur National Forest.
