Not only are they letting things go at the lakes. On state properties they are stripping the forests. In the past they did a great job of timber harvest. Since the Daniels administration they now harvest 3 times as much timber in a given year. Some areas when timbered all or most of the trees are gone with some of the trees only 6 inches in diameter cut. State Forest properties are supposed to be managed for timber and recreation. There isn't much recreation to be found in a woods full of brambles 12 feet high. Current administration is either too naïve or is only managing for now. When woodlots are cut out like that fast growing species will dominate. Future select cuttings of slow growing more valuable trees like Oak, Hickory, and Walnut will be looking at 100 year horizon. Rape the forest now who cares about future generations.
