The Trump administration is asking Congress to expand executive authority over federal forestland so agencies may streamline regulations on forest management.
“We are asking Congress for the authority to streamline [forest management] projects on federal land and expand other authorities to improve access roads for firefighters and protect towns located in or near forests,” Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke tweeted Wednesday.
Zinke also shared a picture of a section of trees in the Helena National Forest in Montana that had been killed by bark beetles. The dead grove of trees is an “added risk for fire,” Zinke said.

We are learning more each day that congress has been on a mission to advance themselves (most of them - not all ). This is something we've known for decades, but President Donald J. Trump is bring it to the attention of some that have had their head in the sand all this time. We are so fortunate to have a president fighting hard for we the people.
Thank you sir!
Trump/Pence 2020!
Come on now, forest management is just plain common sense. Only the moon bats in California don't get it; insanity - doing the same thing over and over hoping for different results.
Keep passing it on or we could revert to ground zero. Also, parents need to review/approve of school corriculum.
Complaining here helps nothing..
I'm sure Congress has a LASER SHARP observation on this. Obama said so many times.
Anybody remember the forestry projects done during the WPA years?
How about stopping the geoengineering?
That would help a LOT
