[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5155703, member: 1409"] Which in turn has taken away wildlife management. National forests were never "managed" much for wildlife so much as they were managed as "forests", which included rotational timber harvests, which greatly benefited a diversity of wildlife. Today's federal forests lands seem to have little to no "forest" management whatsoever? Don't cut a tree, ever, how dare you even think about cutting a tree. Therefore much of what was a self-replenishing, sustainable, "harvest" of timber has been circumvented to just letting mature trees die to feed termites? And to attempt to meet the demand for lumber, instead of much coming from our national forests, more just comes from private lands and foreign countries, including from the tropical rain forests. Everything effects everything. That said, it still could be worse. At least we're talking about the Cherokee National Forest instead of the Smoky Mountain National Park (no hunting allowed). [/QUOTE]
