Environment / Energy I will support the development of this type of innovation and ensure state lands provide consistent supplies of natural resources to companies who add value to those raw natural resources to support their investments in the infrastructure and jobs needed to add value to them. Environment / Energy By increasing the DNR’s ability to directly manage forest harvest operations we can protect sensitive habitat and restore our forests’ ability to withstand wildfire and provide vital habitat, while providing a sustainable supply of logs to timber mills. Direct management by DNR of state forests will also increase our ability to secure the greatest value for the timber we do harvest for state trust beneficiaries – our public schools. Environment / Energy I will direct the DNR to accelerate the implementation of these plans, ensuring that we continue to adapt to a changing climate and develop practical solutions to environmental changes as we encounter them. I will also lead the DNR in doing our part to combat climate change, while seizing opportunities to maximize revenues for state trusts and build our economy. Environment / Energy I’ll do this by continuing our progress improving wildfire response, but importantly, by accelerating our efforts to restore healthy forests and sagelands that are naturally fire-resilient and investing in communities to become better protected from wildfire.
