I just read on my puter that there are more trees on earth than stars in the sky...is that right?

Not an expert by any means but I have heard several times that there are more stars in the sky then grains of sand on earth. I haven't counted either so who knows!

nobody knows! useless to ask if anyone knows for sure.

we've been misled, mis-directed for so long, it might be a long time before we get back up on the road and out of the ditch.

clinton was not our friend when it came to the national forests, f&w refuges, BLM, etc.etc. i think he did like the National Park Service???

Yeah i think he got a hummer in the Lincoln Memorial once.

That is an insane ruling, which I didn't catch through the grapevine. All of Region 3? Holy efeuchk.

Does that mean you can’t cut firewood that’s already dead and on the ground?

Media Statement

Updated: 9/24/2019

Media statement in relation to the recent court-ordered injunction in the case WildEarth Guardians vs. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, et al. CV-13-00151-TUC-RCC in U.S. District Court in Arizona concerning the Mexican Spotted Owl.

The Forest Service received an Order from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona stating that the agency’s “timber management actions in Region 3 national forests must cease,” pending formal consultation regarding the Mexican Spotted Owl.

Five National Forests in Arizona are not within the scope of the Order. To comply with the Court’s Order, we are ceasing timber management actions on all National Forests in New Mexico and on the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.

Such actions may include timber sales, stewardship contracts, planned prescribed fire activities, and the issuance and implementation of active and new commercial and personal-use forest product permits. Personal-use permits include firewood permitting and cutting. Timber management activities include many restoration-focused activities, thinning operations and hazardous fuels reduction projects designed to protect wildlife and communities from fire danger.

We will continue to work to meet our consultation responsibilities under the Court’s Order as quickly as possible, as we are fully committed to continuing efforts for the recovery of the Mexican Spotted owl. However, we also understand the hardship that the cessation of timber management actions may impose on local communities that rely on National Forest products for livelihood. Our thanks to the public and our partners for your understanding and patience. We will readily communicate any new developments as they occur.

And.... the Mexican Spotted Owl.......gained entry illegally.

This will really piss off people who need wood for heating.

...and back to massive fuel load buildup and spectacular wildfires.
