The elevated logging will degrade these degraded forests still further by damaging soils & streams & increasing the damage caused by roads.  It won't help the forests, with respect to fire, because only an end to fire suppression and a let burn policy can do that--not logging. If this approach is implemented, the result will be more unhealthy forests, more unhealthy streams, all at significant taxpayer expense.
