Sens. James Risch (R-Idaho) and John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) introduced a bill last week to stop the eco-terrorist tactic of tree spiking, after the nomination of Tracy Stone-Manning as director of the Bureau of Land Management.

The extent of Stone-Manning’s involvement in tree spiking, a form of eco-terrorism that involves driving spikes into trees to deter, injure, or kill loggers, remains a contentious topic.
