Yes, it is a Nat'l Forest, not a park, and logging is one of the activities there. It actually benefits certain species of wildlife, like the scrub jay and gopher tortoise.

I am sure they have a reason somewhere but it just doesnt make much sense.

Or they can burn out a whole section of woods driving birds and other animals out, but an outlaw ATV, very evil indeed?? >:D Title: Re: Status of Blue Sink ?

A lot of animals eat grass.
