On February 19th, the BLM published a Notice of Intent to gut the management plans governing nearly 2.5 million acres of these forests across 18 counties. The proposal seeks to eliminate old-growth and wildlife protections to facilitate what the agency calls “maximum” logging capacity.

The existing management plans were finalized in 2016. They took four years to develop. They balanced timber production with habitat protection, water quality, recreation, and the survival of species that federal law requires us to protect.

The administration wants to tear them up. And they’ve given you 30 days to say something about it.

There will be no public meetings.

This sickens me, not surprised knew he would try, hoping we can stall in the courts until he is gone.

I just sent long email.

4. Lennar has shareholders to answer to

Thousands of investors are depending on these trees turning into poorly constructed, badly designed, overpriced homes. Some of the potential buyers may have children. Think of the children...

They deserve better and so do our forests.

5. I responded.

Not that this will do a lot of good. But at least we can try to fight back. The only way to stop this kind of resource plunder and squander is to get these people out of there. Vote them out.

6. Every bit of that wood will go to bitcoin millionaires homes, mantles, dining room tables, furniture and decks

All of it. There are too many rich people in this country. Time to cut them off and out.

7. I commented. Took two minutes

Just say “retain the current plan.” No big explanation necessary. These comments are as much a numbers game as anything.
