WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2003 The U.S. Forest Service on Tuesday rescinded a permit to allow a telescope project near a sweat lodge in the Coronado National Forest. To All Our Relations, the Tohono O'odham Nation, the Sky Island Alliance and the Center for Biological Diversity filed appeals against the permit. A regional forest official agreed that it would harm the visual qualities in the forest. A consortium of 10 institutions asked to place seven telescopes on 10 acres. They would come within 1,000 feet from the sweat lodge, run by To All Our Relations. Get the Story:
