Trump administration rolls back forest protections in bid to ramp up logging

Read Time:30 Second


President Donald Trump’s administration has rolled back environmental protections around future logging projects on more than half of U.S. national forests under an emergency designation issued Friday that cites the dangers of wildfires. Whether the move will boost production remains to be seen: The Biden administration also sought to ramp up logging on public lands to combat fires that are worsening as the world gets hotter. Yet government timber sales dipped under the Democrat’s tenure. Industry representatives hope the Trump administration actions will result in the sales of full grown trees that are desired by sawmills.
