It makes sense to anyone involved in the wood industry. The same people that pounded spikes into trees to harm the loggers were finally able to install their perverted anti-industry/anti-growth agenda.
Back in the day, the most efficient logging procedures (high-lead logging) created quite a bit of inflammable debris ("slash"). Our federal contracts required us to control burn it to prevent spread of future fires (see Jerry Brown/California).
The process was thought so important that Forest Service reps were onsite to assure proper performance. It usually involved a very long day in a smoky environment and they were right there with us.
Oh they figured that it was better to let that slash burn uncontrolled up in the tree tops than have it on the ground and slash burn it where they can control it.
Not one stick of merchantable wood should be wasted. NOT ONE.
The deadliest wildfires in US history were caused by logging without the subsequent burning. Jerry Brown doesn't want any burning. Therefore he doesn't want logging either, except a little lip service.
