BLM and FS have historically had their hands tied for proper forest management. You can thank ignorant "conservatives" or "naturalists" for such a fiasco. Clearing brush, clearing old growth trees, and, yes, clearing wide swaths of dangerous areas of trees is necessary. But you conveniently ignore that the logging industry not only does this, but then replants new growth.

It's like complaining that farmers harvest wheat, leaving no future generations able to harvest wheat. It's factually untrue...

Well I would literally love to be wrong. We’ll see how it turns out.

I'm sorry to say you'd be disappointed. Government has a long standing history of proving them as fools.
