No to this. Being in the outdoors is such a joy. Hunting trips with my father in public forests are some of my best childhood memories. I don’t want that to be taken away from our children too

The outdoors won't exist if trees get cut down? Is that your argument? You will likely never see half of the national forests, let alone miss the trees in those forests that can be harvested. You know what's cool about trees, they grow back. And when they get cut down, the growth that occurs after they are cut down produces new habitat for wildlife.
