The Joint Governmental Affairs Committee- consisting of Associated California Loggers, Loggers Association of Northern California and the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference- sent a white paper on America’s Forest Health Crisis to President Donald Trump with the important message that making America’s forests great again will play a key role in making America great again.
This first white paper (click here to download) from the JGAC briefly outlines federal forest management over the past 25 years. It describes the events leading up to our current forest health crisis and provides a blueprint for action to save our forests and the rural families that work so hard to maintain them.
The JGAC coalition will be supporting federal legislation to generate timber policy change and stands ready to work with President Trump’s appointments at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, and key Forest Service staff.
