Trump plans to log Ohio's only national forest.
00:04
Ohio's Wayne National Forest faces expanded logging under Trump,
00:08
sparking a fight between short-term profits and long-term recovery.
00:16
Nearly a quarter million acres once mine scarred were reforested to stabilize soils and watersheds.
00:22
Today the Wayne supports wildlife, filters water, stores carbon, and anchors recreation.
00:30
The plan expands logging, loosens review, speeds sales as forest health. Conservationists say, roll back.
00:38
On unstable mine lands, tree removal risks, erosion, pollutants, and fouled waterways.
00:48
Large-scale logging has consequences beyond a few felled trees.
00:51
Soil erosion and water pollution. Bare ground lets toxins wash into streams.
00:56
Loss of carbon storage. Forests lock greenhouse gases. Clear cutting releases that carbon.
01:04
Habitat fragmentation. Roads and thinning break corridors. Isolating species and aiding invasives.
01:10
Higher wildfire risk. Removing mature trees leaves slash and debris. Adding fuel.
01:17
Restoration could be undone. Fragile soils may fail, causing landslides or acid runoff.
01:22
Supporters cite Appalachian jobs and timber revenue. But short-term benefits fade as long-term costs rise.
01:34
Recreation communities lose. Visitors want trails and foliage, not stumps.
01:38
National forests belong to all Americans. Wayne management sets a precedent, affecting water, biodiversity, and carbon.
01:51
Ecosystem. Services regulate climate, protect watersheds, maintain soils, shape agriculture, and provide water.
01:58
Several steps can make a real difference. Support local and national groups protecting the Wayne National Forest.
02:09
Contact state and federal representatives to oppose expanded logging.
02:13
Choose recreation and tourism that promote preservation over extraction.
