We are teaming with heavy-weight San Francisco law firm Keker & Van Nest in this litigation challenging hundreds of Forest Service grazing permit renewals on dozens of National Forests across the West. These permit renewals were done without any NEPA analysis, instead using "categorical exclusions" under an appropriations “rider” passed by Congress several years ago, which the Forest Service has consistently misapplied. We represent many client groups in this case, including Western Watersheds Project, Natural Resources Defense Council, Cal Trout, Center for Biological Diversity, Grand Canyon Trust, Oregon Natural Desert Association, Utah Environmental Council, and others.
