The information I have read is that 90% of such requests clear in 60 days. And any environmental group knows that removal of diseased trees is desirable to keep the disease from spreading.

Your information is wrong. After the Lowman, Idaho fire in 2000, timber companies petitioned to go in and cut dead standing trees, and as I would have guessed, but you wouldn't, the sale was challenged and delayed.

25-years ago there were 5-sawmills operating within 30-miles of the small Idaho town where I still have property. Now there is not one. There hasn't been a timber sale on this national forest land in 10-years, and the enviro nuts have stated they would rather see the forest burn than be selectively logged.

You live in a dream world.
