FUCK...

Gov. Scott Walker is calling for more trees to be harvested from a national forest in far northern Wisconsin as part of the state's efforts to spur growth in its struggling timber industry.

Loggers and forestry experts have complained about how the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has been managed. They say the 1.5-million-acre forest is being underused, in part because of shortsighted federal harvest plans, Gannett Wisconsin Media reported ( http://post.cr/JmKVF9).

Walker agreed, saying in a statement Thursday that he thinks a more responsible harvest plan would yield greater output and provide an economic boost.

"The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest contains a valuable resource that, right now, is underutilized _ millions of feet of timber just waiting to be harvest in an environmentally sensitive, sustainable way," Walker said. "This is another way to ensure forestry remains a vibrant part of Wisconsin's economy."


...fuck.
