Trump’s plan to restore the US Timber Industry is being hampered by Oregon Democrats. They are ignoring lifting the Ban on Road Building.
Secretary
Rollins Opens Next Step in the Roadless Rescission Rule
By Robert Powell
We are at a
critical point right now re property rights across the entire United States,
that is any state with a National Forest. Forty-one states plus Puerto Rico
have at least one, and some states have numerous. So, a lot of people will be
affected. Today, the urgency is on Oregon people’s interests, tomorrow will be
more states.

While the
current federal Administration is working to invigorate clean safe forest
practices, with common sense practices, supporting true stewardship of the
forests by opening up damaged forests. Our forests have been literal tinder
boxes for years. This change would underpin healthy families, economic support
of towns and schools, and ensure the safety of individuals and the forest
denizens.
In 2001
President Bush, ordered the implementing of the Roadless Area Conservation
Rule, environmental policy that largely banned road construction and logging in
certain areas of U.S. national forests. It was “weaponized to remove and
decommission roads” from travel. The Road closure rule should never have been
made law.
All 3500+
counties need to be part of any process that will affect them. Our
forests do not just benefit loggers, but also family recreation, fire safety
and the animals that reside there. They also supply us with minerals to be
mined and water. Their needs must be part of the decisions made.
Oregon is
flatly ignoring several Presidential Orders, one is on education, and the other
is on DEI and CRT removal, and has sued the current administration 36 times
over various specious issues.
If the U.S.
Forest Service or any other department, or even the state wants to remove any roads,
they are required, first, go through the local governing
bodies via the coordination process with the
local ruling bodies.
Removal or
decommissioning of roads must be curtailed as road production will be more
necessary than ever to keep the counties both prosperous and in good safety
from fire and other dangers.
The Forest Service cites fire safety while claiming road
removal will help. Really? This is classic doublethink which is meant to
operate two belief systems, one for the public and the complete reverse is the
true intent of closing off the land. Big fires.
Here is just
one example of the hypocrisy, and they are in other Forest regions as well:
Now is time
for freedom loving citizens – especially those in Oregon – to demand that any
alterations or exceptions to the Forest Plans be through “Coordination” as the
only way to protect the people from continuing Environmental disaster.
The public
comment period is Friday, August 29, and runs through Friday, September 19.

Trump’s Plan to
restore the “American Dream” of Home Ownership includes the re-establishment of
providing Lumber to build more Single Family Homes. It is time to restore roads
in our forests to allow Trees to be transported to Lumber Mills.
