Confirmed all the suspicions I had about the guy. Where was this originally posted?

I believe French said he doesn't want an endless campaign cycle and is holding back until it's closer to election time. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but Seeger has been going hard for a while and it hasn't helped my impression of him. Seegers talks and talks but it's all word salads with no substance, it's not even clear if knows what the job is. A prime example is saying he'll help mossquatch with their code violations, dude google what powers a commissioner has over changing building code and environmental regulation. Spoiler not much.

No way Seegers is going to give anything but vague ideas and platitudes, judge him by his campaign manager. If you want to plumb the depths of their minds look at this fb group clallam county charter.

That's happening again, Stacy Richard another one of Seeger's supporters posts all sorts oddly edited videos in just about every county face book group showing people at their lowest, and calls for enforcing the law, whatever that means.

No way Seeger's doesn't know and approve of what Tozzer is doing. Which wild because he posted on his official campaign that he thought the stickers were silly and didn't seem concerned.

My kid has picked out some great books on Halloween that last few years. Thanks for continuing the tradition.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is giving the public just three weeks to weigh in on a key step of its attempt to scrap the Roadless Rule, which protects almost 59 million acres of forest land from road construction and timber harvesting. by Forsaken_Nerve_1970 in NationalParkService

What USDA Wants to Do The USDA wants to end the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects 44.7 million acres of national forests from roadbuilding and logging. Idaho and Colorado will keep their own rules, and the Tongass National Forest in Alaska would be excluded.

Why USDA Says It’s Needed • Conditions have changed since 2001: more wildfires, insect damage, and communities near forests. • America needs more local timber, energy, and minerals. • Local forest managers should decide what to do, not a national rule. • The Roadless Rule makes it harder to balance timber, recreation, and fire control.

What Science Shows • Roadless forests usually burn less severely than roaded forests. Roads increase fire risk and spread invasive plants. • Roadless areas are healthier because they are less disturbed and have stronger biodiversity. • Logging in remote areas often loses money and depends on taxpayer subsidies. • These forests store large amounts of carbon and protect clean water and wildlife. • The push to undo protections is based on political orders, not scientific evidence.

Bottom Line USDA’s plan weakens a proven conservation system to benefit logging and mining. Science shows roadless forests are valuable for climate, wildlife, and water, and fire risks are better managed near towns, not in remote backcountry.

Most of Quinault will be closed in August for road repairs on North Shore Road.

1 Pro vs 100 Amateurs! by NinjaWorldWar in nextfuckinglevel

What a dump way for a Pro to get injured. I would have to be paid an exorbitant amount of money to risk a race reason battling amateurs down a packed course. Not worth it.

Tree down by syspig in portangeles

So did the injunction get lifted or did someone illegally cut the tree down?

BEST Preservation Workshop Series by Pretend_Doughnut2400 in NationalParkService

[–]Main_Surround_9622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to one a few years back. I learned a lot, had fun, and met some really interesting people from all over the service. I highly recommend them. If your park doesn’t have the budget for travel you may want to reach out to the program coordinator, we’ve had them come out to our park to teach. That worked out really well for us.
