I think refuges should be managed with conservation and preservation in mind, not one specifically over the other. But wholesale clearcutting seems a bit much for the NWR system.
Yea thats what they should do but i reckon when you keep adding to a federal debt and have absolute complete dumb@$$ in washington spending our money then they just keep going down the line lookin for some more to speed. "Money dont grow on trees but they can sure as hell make it out of some."
