FOREST ANNEX: Plans by an Army base in Louisiana to annex 85,000 acres 
of the Kisatchie NF for training are a "cause of concern" among local 
citizens and Forest Service employees, says Joe Fox of the Association 
of Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics. "No matter how 
carefully the Army at Fork Polk conducts its training activities, its 
presence in the forest is likely to be harmful to the existing rare 
ecosystems and endangered species," says Fox. The area includes one of 
the largest stands of longleaf pine and creek bottom woodlands in the 
state, and is habitat for the third largest population of the 
endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Contact Joe Fox at 
joefox@afseee.org.
