“Many of us have families who have sacrificed lives and lands, but we trust the United States Forest Service to sustain our forest,” said Ms. Lang.
If the USFS did in fact sustain the forests, she might have a point. Yet, it seems to me, that the most spectacular and catastrophic fires in recent years are on federal lands. The policy appears to be one of Let it Grow, Let ir Rot, and Let it Burn. Untold thousands of animals have lost their lives in these BBQs, and may of them on the "endangered species" list. And now, instead of bothering to find a reasonable compromise, the USFS simply bullies its way into a solution.
I couldn’t agree more.
The USFS like the BLM have been infiltrated over many years with environmentalists that no longer manage the lands for the public good. They’re interested in furthering the radical enviros causes including stopping the use of natural resources and basically keeping everyone other than hikers off the lands.
