I just heard about this new bill that's supposed to be about managing forests or something like that. I don't really understand what it's all about, but it sounds like it could have some negative impacts on the environment. I mean, why do we need a whole new bill for managing forests? Isn't that something that's already being taken care of? And how is this bill going to affect me and my community? Can someone explain to me what exactly this bill is trying to accomplish?
