You been vacuuming and raking the forests, just like trump said right? And somebody that vacuumed the forest floor just toppled the tree over by an accident?

Looks like work!

A moderately sized Doug fir tree stretches across a wilderness trail in New Mexico. It has been chopped and sawn in two places, enough to allow the trail to be clear. Chainsaws are not allowed in designated wilderness, hence the axe and crosscut saw.
