Logging is good forest management. Every land owner knows this.
Plus, you can make a pretty penny doing it, depending on your trees and accessibility.

Yep! Rape the land of all its trees and resources for money and be done with it.

Good forest management is more than just cutting down all the trees for profit. (and usually it is not to the profit of the People who actually own the land)

It is my understanding that once that is done, then the forests can be safely and efficiently thinned.

Also, I love how Trumpsters suddenly have become experts on California forest management techniques.

Or maybe, they've seen where proper management has taken place with outstanding results.

Like where for instance?

It is mostly federal land so the Feds are already mostly responsible for most of our forest management.

So it should be easy to show us an example.

9 Oregon, for one. At least until the early 90s.

LOL

Not a good example. NOT outstanding results. Oregon almost burnt to the ground not long ago.

BLM issued lumber permits all the time.

so BLM is responsible for poor forest management then?

But, no worries! Humpy has got this!

Time for a new Gubmint Bureaucracy.

The United States Rake Force!

WE interrupt this thread for a ALTERNATIVE FACT CHECK:

California has been doing prescribed burns for many years now.

Before the first torch even can drip fire on the ground on a prescribed burn in California, federal law requires extensive environmental review.

Carry on with the spin of the day ROC.

Nice try, There was a lawsuit by environmentalist against fed controlled burns.

Just recently resolved.

I call BS.

Yeah. Sorry I don't believe you. I am gonna need a link on that. I can find nothing on it.

The Sierra club promotes prescribed burns and allowing for controlled natural burns.

In areas included in or proposed for the National Wilderness Preservation System, fires should be managed primarily by the forces of nature. Minimal exceptions to this provision may occur where these areas contain ecosystems altered by previous fire suppression, or where they are too small or too close to human habitation to permit the ideal of natural fire regimes. Limited planned ignitions should be a management option only in those areas where there are dangerous fuel accumulations, with a resultant threat of catastrophic fires, or where they are needed to restore the natural ecosystem.
