Hi John, and Everyone,

As the Executive Order on the Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production (here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-expansion-of-american-timber-production/) may likely impact wide swaths of bird habitat in the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests in the coming 2-4 years, it seems acceptable to share here—especially with likely sunsetting of various environmental regulations following the Executive Order on Zero-based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy (here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/zero-based-regulatory-budgeting-to-unleash-american-energy/).

As far as I could infer, this article is not misinformative and is far from fear-mongering (outside of one interpretation of the term “regime”)—unless these Executive Orders are in fact considered fear-mongering, in and of themselves.

In general, let’s keep discussions specific to bird sightings, with only limited further informational discussions about actual potential negative impacts to bird habitat in the immediate Finger Lakes area.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Hi John,
I hope all is well at Kestrel Haven.
The article seemed pretty straightforward, quoting an executive order and talking about the national forest. A 25% increase in logging seems substantial. Changing all regulations toward that single goal also seems off from the multi-purpose function of national forests. What was the misinformation?
Thanks

Chris, suggest you take this fear mongering piece down or publish original comments. This Trump hating stuff needs to cease. The Biden hate was pablum compared to what we see now.
