Secretarial Memo would make logging dominant on over a hundred million acres, taking next step towards dismantling Forest Service

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins issued a Secretarial Memo to expedite logging on over a hundred million acres of Forest Service lands.

The “emergency” memo follows President Trump’s reckless Executive Order “Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production” and misguided attempts in Congress to solve the wildfire crisis with the reckless logging bill “Fix Our Forests Act”.

100 million acres is about the size of Rhode Island.

    Still, I think once you’ve done the tree spiking, it’s necessary to tell people for the deterrence to function.

    So just say you spiked 200 trees and they start chopping and workers get hurt, won’t that work? Or is it the threat that is scary for the corpos?
