“Wilkes is the first person in at least 30 years to be tapped for the job without any background in forest policy, indicating the Obama administration has no specific plans for managing national forests.”
You want to bet? His plans will continue to make wilderness areas, national parks, etc. more difficult to access for the average person. It is federally owned property but they don’t want us peons on the property. As an example, look up White Nose Syndrome. They are using it as an excuse to keep cavers from entering caves.
Like healthcare, federal owned properties, will ONLY
be available to high level Democrats and the Congressmen
and their families.
The rest of America..... must pay their way, and pay
for their whores, and pay for their trips, and pay
for their 15th homes, and pay for their entourages,
and pay for their endless vacations, and pay and pay
and then die ..... quietly without healthcare.
Cattle grazing, for the most part, will likely be impacted as well. I remember during the Clinton Administration that they dramatically reduced reduced grazing. As a result, the growth in forest understory exploded and guess what happened when the conditions were right. Yep, a dramatic rise in forest fires. Take two!It’s staring already. Here’s a quote from another thread:
“Hundreds of miles of backcountry roads used by outdoor enthusiasts would be closed under a new federal plan to protect grizzly bears in the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains that stretch from northeastern Washington to northwestern Montana. . . .”

One of the things that amazed me recently is the number of National Forests that require dogs to be on a leash anywhere in the forest.
All part of the ‘Keep the Peons out of OUR Forests!” program.
