"The three Forest Service employees and Steers said the charges against them are patently false. The government workers maintain that they were acting in their official capacity as Forest Service employees and have done nothing wrong. Steers said Okovita's suit was brought partly 'to intimidate other activists from speaking out. That won't work,' she said."

"Defendants were not at all concerned about the bald eagles or the effect the project might have on the eagle," the suit alleges. Rather, Rosenbaum said that the defendants wanted to kill the project, "which would serve to increase their own property values."
...
In particular, the suit alleges that Scott Eliason improperly advised Friends of Fawnskin on ways that the project might be derailed and that Robin Eliason prepared an inaccurate report on the bald eagle situation in an effort to block the project.

Sounds like the treehuggers I went to school with. It was common knowledge that a FS job could allow you to live in a near pristine wilderness affordably. So what if you have 6 years living with your parents while you are on the waiting list; eventually you'll have a gold mine and you'll be the ad-hoc neighborhood association.
