Buckeye Forest Council Presentation

I enjoyed the presentation by David. It think watch dog groups like the Buckeye Forest Council are important. They make sure that the government agencies are doing what we want them to do. It seems that the council is losing the fight to businesses though. I do not like the idea of clear cutting and prescribed burnings in publicly owned forests. These actions are irresponsible and dangerous. They destroy part of the forest and any animals that cannot escape in time. The prescribed burnings can even become out of control and destroy more trees than intended. I am glad that the Buckeye Forest Council is speak out against them. David was right when he said that these government agencies need to do what the people want, not cater to a very individuals in the gas and wood industries. It was quite upsetting to hear that government agencies would often completely ignore some of the statements from the Buckeye Forest Council. Once I am out of college, I am going to consider becoming a member of the Buckeye Forest Council.
