And again, like each year in February, "arborists" (ie robust people with chainsaws) are sent out by mindless bureaucrats in great numbers to decimate shrubs and trees alongside our roads in unbelievable quantities, an activity almost totally, but not quite unrelated to road safety. Maybe they found that having more shade and less dust in the summertime is actually detrimental to human health.

The project also authorized 579 acres of logging in designated forest — despite President Biden’s mandate to conserve old growth forests on federal lands — and 123 acres of logging in 'recruitment' old growth forest.
