[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

It is environmentalists that have been pushing for the "natural state" forests. They don't want they fuel cleared out, they don't want the fallen trees removed, they don't want selective logging or low branch maintainance.

Understand?

The Conservationists who argue for maintaining the forest through forestry programs are not to blame, it is the environmentalist who want to maintain these "natural state" forests. The big healthy trees that create a well maintained forest would be in no danger if the scrub were cleared, the deadfalls removed and the forest tending by selective logging.

That is what Conservationists and the current administration are pushing for. The environmentalist want to "leave nature alone" and they had their say during the previous administration and look at the last 5 years and the damage forest fires have caused due to their foolish policies.

I agree with you. It must be cleared. I think that you are mistaken when you say that environmentalist don't want this. Maybe a very small minority don't but not the vast majority of environemtnalists or conservationists.

The past mismanagment needs to be corrected. Then , in the extreemly small percentage of forests that are not harvested in any way nature should be left alone.
