Yeah American lumber is heavily reliant on forestry since in the long run it’s easier, why fuck around building infrastructure and moving equipment when you can just set a couple acres aside and cut them every couple of years. Also I’m pretty sure this also applies to our pulp production so even that would make it a waste of time to go after national forests.
We may actually entirely side step Trump’s stupidity and evilness on this simply because the industry has moved on from clear cutting. Also while there are probably some mills that can process Lumber from the parks they are probably specialized and also have their own designated forests, for example the guys who process Lumber for the USS Constitution.
