Re: [RC] National Forest -semantics - Barbara McCrary

I believe what we are trying to say is:  If the Forest Service would sell timber off its land, which would bring in substantial money, then it would not have to sell the land itself to raise funds.  Timber harvesting, done right, does not have to ruin the land, and in most cases is actually beneficial to the forests and its wildlife.  If harvesting off FS lands is done poorly, the FS is not doing a good job of management and inspection.

Please try and make it clear if you are talking about the sale of TIMBER on National Forest Land or the sale of National Forest LAND?I?m getting confused (of course, I?ve also been studying 10+ hours a day for the last 6 days, so who knows if there?s any causation here? J.) IMO, those are totally different issues.

 My apologies...

The money from the sale of timber on Nat. Forest lands goes into the US Treasury.  Then it's up to the president, congress, and senate to decide how it's spent.  They've decided that billions are to be spent invading other countries, and now have decided to sell off Nat. Forest lands to get more money for (this time around) schools.  Wonder what the next "need" will be, and how many acres of National Forests they'll want to sell to meet that one?
