'Establishment of federal and state forests was an effort to remedy an earlier calamity of our making. Now, we have an opportunity to let those same areas take on another role, to forestall another — perhaps bigger — calamity.'

These media stories make it sound like old-growth protection on USFS lands is now a done deal, but logging old-growth trees will continue indefinitely, unless/until a strong forest plan amendment is approved (in 2025?). Also will not affect BLM logging. opb.org/article/2023/1…

'The FS has an obligation to not only protect what [old-growth] remains but restore millions of acres by allowing mature forests to grow. This proposal fails entirely in that regard.' ~Jim Furnisch, former USFS deputy chief huffpost.com/entry/biden-fo…

'We applaud Pres Biden for taking a significant step towards increasing protections for our nation’s endangered old-growth forests. But the reality is that more than 99.9% of old-growth forests in New England have already been cut down.'
