SACRAMENTO - The U.S. Forest Service plans to market a forest-thinning plan in the Sierra Nevada range as necessary to prevent devastating wildfires like those that swept Southern California last fall.
Regional Forester Jack Blackwell was to announce Thursday the final version of a controversial revision of a Clinton administration plan for managing 11.5 million acres spanning 11 national forests.

It is a sin to harvest trees.
We must allow dead biomass to accumulate until it explodes.

Let's see, group selection logging, thinning and fuel breaks. Sounds exactly like the
Herger/Feinstein Quincy Library Group plan that passed congress in 1994 (with a House vote of 429 to 1). So, with nearly unanimous support, why hasn't that plan been implemented? For the same reason NOTHING will be done in the Sierra Nevada until the people realize the government forest management will NEVER work OR until a few enterprising folks figure out how to take it from them.
Anybody interested in that possiblity should start with the necessary education. There is an alternative; and it starts with private property.
