Environmental groups say increased logging would decimate American forests, pollute air and water and devastate wildlife habitats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And because trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, cutting them down releases it back into the atmosphere, adding to global warming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTrump\u2019s order will unleash the chain saws and bulldozers on our federal forests,\u201d said Randi Spivak, the public lands policy director for the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. \u201cClearcutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As part of his executive order, Mr. Trump directed the Commerce Department to investigate whether other countries were dumping lumber into American markets. The inquiry could result in tariffs on Canada, the top supplier of lumber into the United States. In 2021, the United States imported 46 percent of its forest products from Canada and 13 percent from China, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usitc.gov\/research_and_analysis\/tradeshifts\/2021\/forest\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to the U.S. International Trade Commission<\/a>. But the country is also a timber exporter, sending nearly $10 billion worth of forest products to Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A companion directive signed by Mr. Trump said that \u201conerous\u201d federal policies have prevented the United States from developing a sufficient timber supply, increasing housing and construction costs and threatening national security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump called for the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/climate\/trump-endangered-species-god-squad.html?searchResultPosition=1\" title=\"\">convening of a committee of high-level officials nicknamed the God Squad<\/a> because it can override the landmark Endangered Species Act so that development or other projects can proceed even if they might result in an extinction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The committee has rarely been convened since it was created, in 1978, through an amendment to the endangered species law to allow for action during emergencies like hurricanes and wildfires.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump also directed the agriculture and interior secretaries, as well as other officials, to look for ways to streamline regulations and reduce costs for timber production and forest management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Endangered Species Act requires thorough assessments to ensure that activities like logging do not harm protected wildlife and their habitats. Bypassing that process has historically been reserved for small projects like trail maintenance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But developers and the construction industry have long complained that the system is burdensome and adds to their costs, a position supported by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOur disastrous timber and lumber policies \u2014 a legacy of the previous administration \u2014 trigger wildfires and degrade our fish and wildlife habitat,\u201d Peter Navarro, the White House senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, told reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey drive up construction and housing costs and impoverish America through large trade deficits that results from exporters like Canada, Germany and Brazil dumping lumber into our markets at the expense of both our economic prosperity and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s plan follows recommendations found in Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint published by the Heritage Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It called for increasing timber production as a way to reduce wildfire risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump has repeatedly blamed forest maintenance for wildfires in California, including the recent blazes that destroyed large parts of the Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But scientists say hotter temperatures driven by climate change, combined with drought, have played a role in making wildfires bigger and more destructive. They also say that thinning can reduce the cooling shade of the forest canopy and change a forest\u2019s microclimate in ways that can increase wildfire intensity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, Mr. Trump nominated Tom Schultz, a former lumber industry executive, to lead the Forest Service. The agency oversees about 193 million acres of national forests and public lands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Heidi Brock, the chief executive officer of the American Forest and Paper Association, which represents the paper and packaging industries, said the organization is reviewing Mr. Trump\u2019s orders. \u201cWe look forward to working with the administration to provide our industry\u2019s perspective and data on behalf of the more than 925,000 American manufacturing jobs represented by the forest products value chain,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The National Hardwood Lumber Association, a trade group, said it recognized that Mr. Trump\u2019s order is intended to encourage U.S. manufacturing, but that its members also want to forests to be managed sustainably.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEnsuring a balance between economic growth and environmental stewardship is critical to maintaining our forests as a renewable and well-managed resource for future generations,\u201d the organization said, adding that it was still assessing Mr. Trump\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Blaine Miller-McFeeley, a senior legislative representative at Earthjustice, an environmental group, said the orders threaten to take the United States back to the 19th century, when clearcutting stripped old-growth forests in support of industrialization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019re not hiding the ball,\u201d Mr. Miller-McFeeley said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s just about trying to cut as much as our forests as possible to line the pockets of timber industry executives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/02\/climate\/trump-logging-national-forests.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump has promised to \u201cdrill, baby, drill.\u201d Now, he also wants to log.
