We need to remove the volume of fuels that these forests are adding to themselves at a rate of 30% each year.
We need to thin the trees. We do not need more 'experiments' or more 'pilots' to tell us what the problem is.
It is time for a paradigm shift in restoring our landscape so that national forests can once again meet the purposes for which they were established.
I thank Mr. Tipton and Mr. Gosar for their hard work, as well as Ranking Member Markey for his recognition of the need for a more active approach to our forest resources.
First, my thoughts and prayers continue to go out to our constituents who have suffered from catastrophic wildfires.
