In DC...

The US House Agriculture Committee approved 4 bills regarding conservation and forest lands for floor consideration. All were approved by the Committee by voice vote and were ordered to be reported favorably to the House floor. One of those bills involves North Carolina.

HR 1002 - This bill would authorize the purchase of privately held land by the US Forest Service and modify the boundaries of the Pigsah National Forest in McDowell County, North Carolina. The modification would allow for better recreational access to Catawba Falls, a popular tourist site in the region.
