[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 491587, member: 983"] We’re just now seeing the effects of the purge in our local national forest. From my perspective, they took an already overworked staff and reduced it by half or more. Mostly by eliminating those who had lots of years and experience. The main problem though is the hoops to jump through are still there. There’s talk and some minor progress on reducing permitting and other hurdles but it hasn’t been meaningful. So less people trying to do the same work. Priorities are timber and minerals first. Recreation and access last. I think we’re a few years from seeing fit worked or just made a huge mess. I’ve seen many citizens taking advantage of this. Bootleg trails and unlimited travel are the norm in a very short amount of time. No enforcement presence anymore. No permitting on the horizon so folks do as they please. Good or bad we’ll see. [/QUOTE]
