DirtRoadYaya Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Being Loggers by trade, I am happy to see our own resources being put to use. Also as someone lives very near the unmanaged forested land I am also grateful. I only can speak to my own area and experiences. I really don't believe it will impact Bigfoot here. We have so much wilderness and Park lands that there is plenty for both. JMHO. I have to remember when forming opinions only know what I know and don't know what I don't know. 1

Google facts "The US Forest Service manages approximately 193 million acres of land, encompassing 154 national forests.
