"Meanwhile, the Sierra Club's forest campaign manager, Alex Craven, said in a statement:
"Once again, the Trump administration is ignoring the voices of millions of Americans to pursue a corporate giveaway for his billionaire buddies. Stripping our national forests of roadless rule protections will put close to 60m acres of wildlands across the country on the chopping block.
That means polluting our clean air and drinking water sources to pad the bottom lines of timber and mining companies " all while pursuing the same kind of mismanagement that increases wildfire severity."
DJT just really like deserts. And desserts, too, obviously.

Again, it depends on how this is done.
It can be done right to improve the health and decrease fire potential of the forestlands.
Or...it could be done wrong, and they'll simply be destroyed so domestic lumber companies can have a few years of elevated profits.
