Good.
Not sure how this is a "problem"?
Apparently he thinks rivers will flow back up the mountains and water the manzanita....and of course the valleys won't flood when they plug the rivers...truly garbage from a guy who pretends to know how to build and develop property....digger pines and sugar pines in N California will stop producing sticky pine cones that explode and start more fires....watering them just makes bigger pine cones to ignite...my son's best friend is fighting those fires right now and risking his life everyday...why not tweet about firemen working tirelessly fighting 17 major fires at the same time? Or the people who've lost their lives and homes.....because really...he doesn't care for them..all signs point to Trump melting down in face of his own fucked up problems.
We have responsible logging practices in Oregon....clear cutting is restricted...the BLM land for thousands of acres behind my property is thinned regularly and responsibly...I planted trees decades ago behind logging companies...what fuels raging fires is drought and usually lightning...I live a few miles from a huge mill and they are very good at forest management....not so long ago, they just clear cut everything...and a lawyer in the capitol is pretty far removed from the reality of forest management...however there is big money in clear cutting at the expense of wildlife and the natural soil bank composting program...fires have happened in the forest for many centuries before man settled there. I think we have some of the best forest management crews in the country currently...California is drying up.....record temperatures of 113 degrees in N California are not caused by trees...oops...the global warming reality ….another environmental conspiracy? I think not. Sorry....Trump is full of shit on this one. You don't want trees...you must not like wildlife and soil...and love erosion....check out mining practices with water cannons back in the gold rush...those forests have never recovered...looks like the moon....trees provide much needed oxygen and filter carbon dioxide from the air...along with many things....you really want our nat'l parks to be barren? Tree's also hold water tables in the high country...clear cutting the Sierra Mountains would be like cutting off an arm so you wouldn't have to trim your finger nails anymore.
He also appears to want to divert water from endangered fish species such as salmon to fighting fires. Oh yeah, surely no one likes to fish for salmon.
You do realize you're the only one talking about clear cutting, right?
Trump was talking about tree clearing....and no, I voice my views without looking for posts that agree....I've worked in that field when I was young and I've seen logging companies at work in Oregon doing really good forest management....logging has never stopped forest fires from spreading...I had 11 acres in the high Sierras when I was young and fought 7 major forest fires around my property...which was not clogged with old growth...it was fueled by flying pine cones and roasting manzanita and madrone which burns at a high temperature and is not usefull lumber. You also are the only one who cited a lawyer in Salem without knowing what lobby fueled his case.....there are still many who would like to go back to the huge profits of clear cutting. I didn't blame Trump for the fires....I blamed him for being fucking clueless to the situation....logging trucks pass my driveway everyday...I happen to have an interest in forest management as I live in the forest
I'm addressing responsible logging which I've seen improvement in through out the NW in my lifetime...I've also seen fire break all the rules of things like fire breaks and environment....Southern Oregon and N California are drier than they've ever been in my lifetime. Nature takes it's course
There's nothing more ugly than a clear cut although it does seem to be favored by deer.
