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.
Would be a shame if my new favorite hobby was combo tree spiking/mapping
