Clearcutting not for birds but for money
Gov. Bill Lee and his greedy, non-conservative, pseudo Republican pals in our state legislature, and their servants at the helm of the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency are procurers of anyone or anything they can exploit for their immediate financial gain.
They are attempting to grease the wheels of their equally greedy pals in the timber industry to clear cut 2,000 acres of virgin hardwood forest in the publicly owned and extremely popular Bridgestone Firestone Centennial Wilderness Area in White County, Tenn.
They say it is to increase habitat for the Northern Bobwhite quail. That is a lie.
They want to rape this virgin hardwood forest, not for any publicly environmentally beneficial reason. It is only for their own personal wealth and greed.
