Follow the money. Why is a company from Florida and other parts of the US leading Timber designation and logistics in OUR state? Money grabbing corporations at it again!
As a side note, I just drove this area and the ‘hazard’ trees marked are ridiculous, a greenhorn Arborist could tell you many of the roadside trees pose no threat. Poor federal oversight, lack of management and poor ethics.
