A big giveaway for the forestry industry who will get money for not logging some marginal land while continuing to clearcut vast amounts of native biodiverse forests which contain trees 200+years old in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Once again money talked over good science and over conservation and responsible logging methods. Shame on us.Shame on the politicians who have taken tons of $ in campaign contributions from big timber and forced compromise which is the death toll for native privately held forests in California.
