California National Forests Targeted for Timber Production Expansion

A federal order to increase U.S. timber production by 25% is set to impact all 18 of California's national forests. This move raises concerns about the potential environmental impact on old growth forests and wildlife habitats as logging operations expand across the state. The decision is likely to spark debates about the balance between economic interests and the preservation of vital ecosystems, with implications for the long-term health of California's forests.
