Fuel reduction for wildfire mitigation, if that's what you are referring to, doesn't focus on mature trees, which are pretty important for the long term health of forests.
This doesn't so much address the health of forest ecosystems so much as remove them, which really fucks stuff up. Habitat destruction, changes to waterways and luvial fauna, soil erosion. We already do a lot of timber farming, like a lot of DT policies it's hard not to read this as a simply spiteful move.
