Could anyone tell me why President Trump keeps nominating and placing people like Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, a former oil industry lobbyist, in a position to protect our lands?
The proposed rule that they are not going to have any communication with the public on lands policy is so wrong. This proposal includes all 80.1% of all Forest Service projects and permits that are approved under what is called a categorical exclusion, meaning the agency figures the project or permit will have no individual or cumulative significant effects on the environment.
It proposed to stop giving advance notice of these projects and opportunities to tell the agency that it's missed an important harm.
