I made a second visit to the Superstition Wilderness in March of 2019, featured for this #ThrowbackThrusday. I was out to make a loop past Hackberry Spring with a thought to heading up the mountain by the same name. I ended up visiting both, but altered my route from planned a little.

Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/03/trump-national-forest-executive-order
“#Trump’s order will unleash the chain saws & bulldozers on our federal #forests,” said Randi Spivak, the #PublicLands policy director for the Center for Biological Diversity, an #environmental group. “#Clearcutting these beautiful places will increase #fire risk, drive species to #extinction, #pollute our #rivers & #streams, & destroy world-class recreation sites,” she said.
#Trump Moves to Increase #Logging in #NationalForests
Trump wants to circumvent #environmental #regulations to expand #timber production, something sought by homebuilders & the construction industry.
Trump directed federal agencies to examine ways to bypass #EndangeredSpecies protections & other environmental regulations to ramp up timber production across 280M acres of national forests & #PublicLands.

On Monday, Secretary of the Interior Burgum directed his assistant secretaries to ease the way for energy development on federal lands, including by reinstating all energy leases that had been canceled under the Biden administration and offering more parcels of public land for oil and gas drilling, among other pro-fossil fuel actions.
