American Forests on the Auction Block


I'm working on a story about the terrorism of foreign owned corporate and capitulating U.S. government workers who have been planning to spray poisons on healthy forests. Most people don't know just how much of our nation's forestland is in the hands of foreign owned multi layered corporate companies.
Getting the information out to the public on what they are planning is the first step in save our Nations Forests from money hungry loggers and ranchers who want more grassland to feed cows.
I may be a nobody when it comes to speaking out as to what I see and hear, but I have to try. The planned spraying of poisons on large tracks of our nation's public and private forests for whatever reasons, (weed control, insect control, etc.) should not be in the hands of foreign owned corporations whose motivation and interests are short and long term (logging and beef production) capital gains.
If our country is to survive the buying of U.S. American forest property by rich foreign interest groups and individuals whose only concerns are profit and greed, our elected officials in Olympia and Washington D.C. had better get on-the-ball and make some policy changes if they want their children and future generation of children to have the opportunity to drink clean water and walk in our Nation's Forests. A foreign managed tree farm is not a forest.
