You've always been allowed to purchase a very inexpensive permit for your own firewood or Christmas tree harvesting on national forest lands. Not so with national parks, but forests are fine. You just can't sell it under those permits. Otherwise that would be commercial use and would require a whole lot more paperwork.

This is a direct quote from the US Forest Service web page:
“The National Forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives: to improve and protect the forest, to secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use of citizens of the United States.”

Welcome to the Soviet Union.
Here is the entire ABOUT US:
“The overriding objective of the Forest Service’s forest management program is to ensure that the National Forests are managed in an ecologically sustainable manner. The National Forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives: to improve and protect the forest, to secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use of citizens of the United States. Forest management objectives have since expanded and evolved to include ecological restoration and protection, research and product development, fire hazard reduction, and the maintenance of healthy forests. Guided by law, regulation, and agency policy, Forest Service forest managers use timber sales, as well as other vegetation management techniques such as prescribed fire, to achieve these objectives. These activities have captured substantial public attention, and in some cases, become hotly debated issues.”
They own 52% of Oregon and 80% of NV.
I get tired of typing this word: Unconstitutional.
One huge goal of the left is to eliminate private property. (See the communist manifesto). They do it a little at a time, and never actually admit that this is what they are doing.
I have been a lumber broker since 1985.
I have a BS degree in Wood Products Engineering
I buy from sawmills throughout the western US and Canada.
I am very familiar with US Forest Service Timber sales.
The Biden puppeteers see this as assets to act as collateral for the massive debt they are creating.
And, after that, the government storm troopers can treat us the way that the Aussies are being treated for protesting mandated vaccines. They pepper sprayed an 80 yo woman.
I read about Bill Gates buying up a lot of land a few weeks ago. I wondered why he was doing it, it was big swathes of "ranch" land. Well, he is a vegetarian or a vegan or something, so I guess he thinks he can make the rest of us behave the same if he gets rid of the grazing land for the beef cattle.
Can't say positively that, that is what he is doing; but, why else would a computer geek start buying up beg swathes of land in the West?
If they pass it, then make it equitable. 30% of NY, Pa, Ma, Ct, Ca, RI, Md, etc. and anything over 30% in other states given back to the states. It would go nowhere because it would highlight the scam.
Yes, this has been on the left’s agenda for at least a decade.
About 20 years ago, property rights groups tried to sound the alarm about the Wildlands Project and Agenda 21.
They were ridiculed as conspiracy theorists by the media.
You can generally get woodcutting permits for many Nat’l Forests, it’s the parks and preserves that are generally off limits.
Seems like CONgress, both sides, are ceding their power and letting the tyrant, tyrant. Then when they act, it’s just as bad. The USA is screwed. Seriously.
I figured as much.
I heard from a lawyer several decades ago that the details of federal land ownership, given the constitutional limits placed on it, are such that they actually lease it from the states. Don’t know if this is completely true or only for the part of Colorado we were discussing at the time. Never had the urge to investigate. FWIW.
