Building companies KB Home and Hayward Lumber, as well as office supply
chain Staples Inc. -- all major consumers of wood products -- have lined up
with environmental groups trying to protect Alaska forests. The three
companies have sent letters to the U.S. Forest Service opposing a proposal that
would exempt Alaska's Tongass and Chugach national forests from a nationwide
prohibition against road building in national forests. Environmental
groups have targeted a number of companies that are major consumers or wood
products as pressure points as they campaign for stronger forest protections.
