You have the power as CPL to follow through on your campaign promises and reform a broken and corrupt agency. Instead you appear to be maintaining the status quo and protecting the corrupt elements within WADNR.

Yep, we could very easily replace timber and cotton, which would be of huge environmental benefit!
I spent a large part of the summer researching a concept where WADNR would facilitate a rapid transition to hemp, and am trying to get them to pursue such a plan instead of logging legacy forests.

Sophia Sherman (Speaker #8) makes a great point; WADNR is not abiding by its own silvicultural guidelines.

When the Forest Service, BLM, or WADNR uses the word "restoration", what they actually mean is "pillaging".

Unfortunately, the announcement from @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social @wadnr.bsky.social is even worse than I initially thought.
Upthegrove is basically allowing WADNR to proceed with business as usual for the next 5 years; clearcutting all the legacy forest which they had previously planned to cut.

When you start looking into how much WADNR administrative staff get payed, and how much their pay has risen in the past several years, you start to see where some cuts to spending could be made without harming any on-the-ground workers. It's frankly obscene how much some of these people are making!

WADNR is currently logging in legacy forests throughout the state.
