To the Editor:
I am writing to establish my opposition to the recently introduced Assembly Bill 2494 targeting self-sufficiency of California State Forests. As a California Registered Professional Forester who lives and recreates in proximity to the Jackson Demonstration State Forest (JDSF), I feel obligated to share that I believe the JDSF has been a success story under its current mandate. JDSF provides unique opportunities for the public. The revenue from timber management supports the forest staff and environmentally important road maintenance. The wood products generated from timber harvests are truly renewable building materials. The State Forest, under its current management, has successfully supported environmental research and restoration projects. In my personal and professional opinion, the potential environmental cost of supporting this assembly bill will be greater than many realize.
I also worry that the working-class demographic that supports current management of JDSF has been underrepresented. I have attended public JDSF meetings and sincerely believe the forest staff have made impressive strides to correct the issues that brought JDSF under public scrutiny.
I do not wish to alter the current management of the State Forests. AB 2494 seeks to fix something that is not broken. The Jackson Demonstration State Forest has some of the tallest and most contiguous stands of timber in the county. JDSF is not over-logged, nor at risk environmentally under current management. It would be a tragedy to lose what the State Demonstration Forests currently provide.
