"... our court system is manipulated by activists and how, in this instance, that has resulted in unmanaged and mismanaged public lands."
The above quote is from a rancher whose family has lived on and used these lands since 1852. Recently, the fires consumed nearly 320,000 acres and killed most of their cow-calf pairs. The legacy is gone.
Courts, lawyers and activists now dominate how the Forest Service does its job and it is not good.
We recently drove to Dakota Dunes and while passing Omaha, we noticed that our eyes burned and it was hazy. Yep, smoke from the fires. Maybe California, maybe Colorado. I just returned from Denver and was informed that the air quality is worse than India.
How are we going to figure out how to deal with extremists who are able to finance court battles that destroy our land? Let's do something! Or the whole country will be like California, Portland and Seattle.
