Environment Groups Sue for Grazing Along River

Times Headlines

, From Times Wire Reports

Environmental groups sued the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Department of
Agriculture Secretary Anne Veneman over cattle grazing along the North Fork
Eel River in Northern California.

The Center for Biological Diversity and the Environmental Protection
Information Center filed the suit Monday in federal court to stop cattle
grazing in the river corridor.

The groups contend that cows cross the river, causing algae blooms and
impairing water quality and fish habitat. The North Fork Eel River was
designated a federal wild and scenic river in 1981.
