TIM HOLDEN: “It is vital that we protect our natural resources while also supporting our agricultural economy.”

The Forest Service should always consider the multiple uses of our National Forest land, including timber production, habitat preservation, natural resource management, and recreation.

This must include safe and responsible domestic oil and natural gas production as part of a broad energy portfolio.

The health of the Chesapeake Bay and those bodies of water contained in the Bay watershed... deserves our full attention.

We must also be certain that our Federal Government is not carrying out the requirements of this plan in a heavy-handed manner.
