Expand active management of federal forests

McClintock supports removing excess timber and thinning overgrown federal forests as part of active forest management. He argues that this approach would improve forest health, reduce wildfire risk, and support timber-dependent mountain communities. He also favors using timber-sale revenue to help fund forest protection, replanting, and other public-land improvements.
