Ilmu sangat bermanfaat❤😊

[@tameemahossain63]

Such a bias news . No mention of annual allowable cut reduction of old growth trees

[@MrHuntermikey]

Agreed. The old growth deferment isn’t helping

[@Dbodell8000]

Quit shipping our trees away then we would have a fibre supply. Funny how there's no mention of that.

[@Dbodell8000]

Of course little mention of the exporting practices that have been going on for years.

[@Mooseracks]

95 % of all logs harvested are exports...free trade.... NAFTA DESTROYED OUR VALUE ADD WOOD PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

[@ginNjus]

Value added products???. Should have done 25 years ago.

185million could build 185 million homes. Then they wouldn't have to work. If this money is spent wisely think of the prosperity.

[@serbansaredwood]

WHAT??? You mean to tell us that decades of clearcutting entire forests down has consequences? Shocking.

[@waynebayer3144]

good for them they assumed there would be an unlimited supply, all they did was devastate the forests

[@happyfisherman4432]
