The U of Montana is so far left it is a local joke. A long time ago when I was hiring college geologists for summer help in the area I made it known that UofM students need not apply. In their forest management classes they had a professor who discussed best methods of spiking trees. I dispise the school.
Do these idiots not know that trees are replaceable? All you have to do is for every tree that is cut down plant 4 or 5 new ones. It does not take that long for trees to grow
