One of the giants at Montgomery Woods that fell and needed to be bucked to clear the way. I am all for protecting these trees but I feel leaving it here to rot is a huge waste of its life.

Some much beauty in this fallen giant could serve humanity. The value of this timber is massive and it could repair and pay for many improvements in this park that need to be made. Despite stealing billions annually in taxes California can't even do basic upkeep on its state parks.

California is honestly a beautiful state and we have met nothing but wonderful people on this trip. The government though clearly has no clue about forest management. I walk around and all I see is that huge wildfires are going to be common in this state for a long time.

Yes, and if for some reason they feel the land needs it, there are ways to do it better.

A Swingmill and/or slabber could saw it on site with essentially no footprint and leave the shavings and the cutoffs.

This country has been managed for millenia and we need to rediscover how to do it in the modern context. And not just the west coast.
