An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.
What a stupid fucking move. Here in Oregon there are so many logging scars and shitty areas that were once beautiful old growth forests. The destruction logging leaves in its wake is sobering, terrifying and disgusting. We already have areas that are fucked up, monoculture wastelands. Keep raping that until we get our shit together.
I can’t wait to read the big headline. Until then, they better fucking gridlock this in the courts.
Cunts. All of them. Maybe we could get them to go stand out in the woods holding some branches.
I’m curious if it’s going to be old growth though or land that was previously logged, replanted, and closed off. I assume it’s the latter, since really I’m not sure old growth would even be as cost effective.
