Summary: Some of the Deschutes National Forest's ponderosa pines have been used the last few years to demonstrate the United States Forest Service's priorities in the changing West. Two ofthese priorities include improving forest health and protecting against devastating wildfire while still supporting the timber economy.
Response: Something that really bothers me about this is the fact that the United States
Forest Service is cutting down trees that are helpful and play an important role in the environment. Global warming is an issue, and by eliminating a forest you are increasing global warming factors, after all forests absorb carbon dioxide.
