Statement:

Ms. Keenan. Hello, Senator McClure. I just want to say get down on your hands and knees next time you're in the forest and look into the forest floor. Look at the old trees that have fallen many moons ago. Look at the tight new starts of trees that came from the old growth. The rich fertile soil that it gave off. These are going to be our next future of trees for our children's children next future. So next time you're in the forest, get down on your hands and knees and look into the forest floor. And I'm in support for leaving it like it is. Thank you.
