Right on, glad to see another good decision made by Obama. I eagerly await the conservatives whines of "but what's wrong w/roads in national forests? what's wrong w/clearcutting?"
Yeah it's a good thing that we'll continue importing lumber from Canada while the trees in National Forests die and rot where they are. That sure is wise use.
Noe he needs to clean up the under growth befoire the forest and the west burn out.One reason it was satrted in the first place is that thwey non-cutting and clearing under growth just fueled fires.That measn spending more tax payer money;letting lumber companies cut ansd clear or having a fire zone just waiting for more fires to burn the trees and structures.
I see no problems with a moratorium. Just remember that some roads are used as fire breaks and also allow fire crews to reach wildfires. So it is shortsighted to ban all road building.
Mother Nature was managing the forests for several years before men started thinking they could do a better job.
If trees fall down, well, gee - that's what they were designed to do, grow, die, and fall over. And burn, if the conditions are right.
"Wilderness" comes from a root word meaning "unsettled". and it should stay that way. Score 1 for Obama.
