The Biden administration moved on Tuesday to conserve groves of old-growth trees in national forests across the U.S. as climate change amplifies the threats they face from wildfires, insects and disease. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the agency will adopt an ecologically driven approach to older forests — an arena where logging interests historically predominated. That will include the first nationwide amendment to U.S. Forest Service management plans in the agency s 118-year history, he said.
Enjoy your Christmas tree this year because thanks to a new regulation President Joe Biden is pushing on the Forest Service, next year’s tree may go up in smoke.
