Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production

Not sure how they can develop a successful reforestation program that quickly.......or maybe they just won't bother.

Won’t bother that is an extra cost
 
Just can't let it go, eh? Try not copying verbatim from another site as if their words were your own. Give credit where due. I copied these from the source I link below. Do they look familiar?

Deforestation only occurs when forests are permanently removed so the land can be used for something else.

According to laws, regulations and policies in place across Canada, all areas harvested on public land must be reforested, either by replanting or through natural regeneration.

Canada has some of the most rigorous laws in the world for protecting forests and ensuring sustainable forest management.




From your post:
Do you refute any valid information?

You already have the answer to that.

Do you still deny copying from another site and presenting it here without crediting that other site, as if it was your own work?
I do not deny anything. I compile all the information I glean on multiple sites, if you don't like it, too ****ing bad. Bug the **** off, you troll.
 
Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...iate-expansion-of-american-timber-production/
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The production of timber, lumber, paper, bioenergy, and other wood products (timber production) is critical to our Nation's well-being. Timber production is essential for crucial human activities like construction and energy production. Furthermore, as recent disasters demonstrate, forest management and wildfire risk reduction projects can save American lives and communities.

The United States has an abundance of timber resources that are more than adequate to meet our domestic timber production needs, but heavy-handed Federal policies have prevented full utilization of these resources and made us reliant on foreign producers. Our inability to fully exploit our domestic timber supply has impeded the creation of jobs and prosperity, contributed to wildfire disasters, degraded fish and wildlife habitats, increased the cost of construction and energy, and threatened our economic security. These onerous Federal policies have forced our Nation to rely upon imported lumber, thus exporting jobs and prosperity and compromising our self-reliance. It is vital that we reverse these policies and increase domestic timber production to protect our national and economic security.

Sec. 2. Directives to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture.

(a) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Chief of the United States Forest Service (USFS), respectively, shall each issue new or updated guidance regarding tools to facilitate increased timber production and sound forest management, reduce time to deliver timber, and decrease timber supply uncertainty, such as the Good Neighbor Authority described in 16 U.S.C. 2113a, stewardship contracting pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 6591c, and agreements or contracts with Indian tribes under the Tribal Forest Protection Act as contemplated by 25 U.S.C. 3115a

Does everyone understand what this executive order means? It means that the US plans to deforest our National Parks to make up for the shortfall of lumber coming from Canada due to Trump's tariffs. It means that Trump just ordered swaths of our national forests to be cut down, 280 million acres, to be exact. All for cheaper lumber. This EO means bypassing environmental protections, including the 'Endangered Species Act'. The entire ecosystem, wolves, bears, and endangered species could be wiped out just to make timber companies richer. This isn't about helping everyday Americans, this is about helping corporate logging companies.

In the process, we lose clean water, clean air and wildlife habitats. This destruction of our forests harms the environment. Trees are a necessary component for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cutting trees down to this extent will speed up global warming. Destroying our national forests for a quick cash-grab is reckless and shortsighted. Trump is willing to sacrifice millions of acres of protected land for cheaper lumber.
Wait what happened to raking the forests?

Yeah...you compiled all right. Then you presented a bunch of that compilation verbatim, as if it was your own work. If you don't like being called on that, quit doing it. Credit your sources to avoid plagiarism.
