QUOTES

• "Why don't we try to create abundance, create more opportunity for each, and do that while we're out there managing the forest?"
• “We've got a genuine opportunity to fix it. And I'm excited that we do. I just hope people start to realize that selling a million and a half acres sounds bad. That's nothing compared to managing the 640 million acres we have.”
