“The Biden Administration deserves credit for changing the direction of our national forest policy, hopefully before it is too late. Instead of maximizing timber company profits, the goals are to protect the old growth forests, increase resilience to climate change, improve clean air water and wildlife habitats in forests and watersheds, and to cooperate with native, international and other stakeholders to reforest.”

@Kozmo One problem is, this policy runs counter to climate change concerns as the trees late in their life cycle tend to release carbon into the atmosphere. Harvesting them ends up being a form of carbon sequestration.

So this policy announcement is actually anti climate concern.
