4. Stop Subsidized Timber Sales

-- part contents for background part 6
----- text -----
  It is most ironic that on one hand our government wants to start planting trees to fight global warming, and at the same time the US Forest Service, division of the Dept. of Agriculture, continues to permit below-cost, subsidized timber sales in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Montana, and other states.  Below-cost means it costs the government more to build the roads, and supervise the timber sales than the small amount of money received from logging companies for cutting the trees on public land. 
  These sales have to stop.  When the Forest Service does sell timber, the price should be high enough to more than cover all costs, not set at giveaway prices that only make our Federal budget deficit worse. 
  Write to: 
   
   Mr. Edward Madigan 
   Secretary of Agriculture 
   14th & Independence Ave, SW 
   Washington, DC 20250 
   
  Ask Mr. Madigan to stop the Forest Service practice of below-cost timber sales.  If the government price for logs is too high, the timber industry should cut on private land instead.
