Uinta logging
The public has 45 days to appeal a June 11 U.S. Forest Service decision to open about 1,700 acres to selective logging and prescribed burns near the west fork of the Bear River in the Uintas. The plan would require almost eight miles of temporary new roads. What s your take on this proposal?
 I m all for it. Selective timber harvesting is a necessary part of forest management. It removes diseased trees and stimulates new growth.
 Forget it. Federal timber sales are a taxpayer-subsidized boondoggle. And we ll see how temporary these roads are once the ATV crowd discovers them.
 I m reserving judgment. It s true that fire suppression has upset the balance in our forests. But the past eight years have made me question the motives of anything the federal government does.
