Ray has extensive experience in virtually all aspects of environmental law. His cases have stopped illegal and improper logging on tens-of-thousands of acres of public forests, reduced pollution levels in southern rivers, forced more than 60 major corporations to clean up their facilities, and stopped development on one of the last wild stretches of barrier island in the middle Gulf Coast.  Ray handled two successful lawsuits against the infamous timber salvage rider, stopping "salvage" logging of thousands of acres of healthy trees and sparing roadless areas and riparian zones from planned "salvage" cuts.  The author of numerous legal articles and three books on environmental law, Ray is also a board member of the Southern Appalachian Forest Coalition.
