Always seems that people want us to use renewable resources but cry when other people try to harvest renewable resources. Trees are renewable, harvesting trees provides jobs, resources to build houses. It is far better to allow controlled harvesting than uncontrolled forest fires. Regardless, nature will backfill the area anew.

Again, there is no "backfilling" to occur because the land has not been logged since the lae went into effect years ago. This ruling maintains the status quo.

However once a uncontrolled Forest Fire strips the land. Then nature will spend the next 60 years backfilling. What would you rather have. A controlled forest, or a uncontrolled desert?

While this may look like a win now. The first huge lightening strike could turn it to a charcoal forest
