Committee on Agriculture

Mr. Chairman, distinguished Committee members, my 

 name is Robert MacMullin. I am a Registered Professional 

 Forester, a Licensed Timber Operator and owner of 

 MacMullin Forestry and Logging. I earned a degree in 

 Forest Management from Colorado State University, and have 

 over 20 years of woods experience, 16 of them spent 

 working in the Redwood forests of northwestern California. 



I am here to urge you to oppose H.R. 2866. This is 

 horrible legislation. It totally disregards the needs of 

 the people who live in northwestern California. I am also 

 here to answer questions about the forests in which I 

 proudly work, nourish and protect, and the horrible 

 inefficient affects current Forest Service policy is

 the forest itself. 



You all should know Humboldt County has 

 approximately 1 million acres of private forest situated
