Clinton limited the ability of the United States Forest Service to thin out dense thickets of foliage, dead / downed trees on federal land.. and more....
I have ten acres right across the Canyon from this. Believe it or not they do actually allow folks to go buy a cheap permit and go cut marked trees to thin them.
The problem is there are not enough people even wanting to work that hard and do it. And no one uses fireplaces or wood stoves much anymore.
I just wish they would look at their map better when marking trees. They marked a couple of mine and someone harvested them off my property.
Slick Willy was such a fool.
