Most of the opposition I've heard from environmental groups centers around fear that logging interests are using thinning as a "foot in the door".

- ChuckMcM 6y agoI have heard those arguments as well. One wonders what we could go with a "Civilian Conservation Corps" which provided employment for the unemployed and addressed both forestry issues as well as infrastructure issues facing the nation. Of course that was one of FDR's most successful programs, and one which I feel could be applied here as well. The country needs both tradespeople and infrastructure maintenance in a big way and doing that by funding large engineering firms is extremely inefficient.
- mythrwy 6y agoThat is an excellent idea. For some people just getting the experience of going to a job (as well as a resume line) would really help them, and... we need some stuff done for sure in the US.
