Josh Hicks, conservation campaigns director at the nonprofit Wilderness Society, said the policy has been “remarkably successful at protecting the nation’s forests from mining, logging and roadbuilding for nearly 25 years.”

“Any attempt to revoke it is an attack on the air and water we breathe and drink, abundant recreational opportunities which millions of people enjoy each year, havens for wildlife and critical buffers for communities threatened by increasingly severe wildfire seasons,” Hicks said.

“It takes resources and capacity to manage our forests, and right now this administration is choking off the agency,” said Josh Hicks, conservation campaigns director with the national nonprofit the Wilderness Society.

Hicks said directing the agency to extract more resources from the landscape while simultaneously reducing its staff and budget will further hamper its ability to prepare for and respond to fires this year.

The odd scene at Dodger Stadium was because of a reported blockbuster trade that involved the Boston Red Sox sending infielder Rafael Devers to the Giants in exchange for Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks and two prospects — a move that further bolsters the talent in the L.A.-San Francisco rivalry.
