The Trump administration said on Monday that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

Those "protections" were put in place by Bill Clinton in 2001 using executive order, just before he leaves office.

The idea that any of those lands will make anybody a dime on timber is laughable. It's a federal boondoggle and will cost taxpayers a ton. Google my piece "The Mismanagement of the National Forests"
