  • Why is the USFS even being allowed to sell *public* trees to right wing Republican companies that don't own them? Why is this politician even allowing this USFS person to sell off our American heritage?

  • I'm curious as to why the press release sent out by Senator Tester's office didn't include any mention of this statement from USFS Chief Tom Tidwell.

    "If you look at 2009, it was probably the toughest market that we've had with the integrated wood products industry. But we were still able to accomplish close to 97% of our [timber] target in 2009. We also exceeded our wildlife improvement targets and we also exceeded our hazardous fuel improvements targets."
