Burnett is well known for being associated with things relating to the environment. He often makes appearances in newspapers, along with radio shows. In this article Burnett is making the proposal on how to improve forest management. The problem starts with conservatives and liberals arguing on how to spend money for the environment. The problem with spending money on recreation for the environment is this program loses money. When it comes to recreation use hikers, birders, and campers do not make the environment money. The other program losing money is loggers. This program did not lose as much money as the recreation fund though.
Although these other parks lose money, the parks making money are the state and county forest. The reason these parks make money rather than lose money is for the fact that nations parks cost more to take care of. Although these are both parks they both have different argument made about them. Burnett explains since state parks are doing better than national parks, that if the state can make a positive outcome of the park, the state will be able to run the park. Overall I think this is a good idea. The reason is if a park can contain the nature feel, and not lose money it would be a great outcome. I feel if parks can make money it will help our economy. Why keep spending money on parks that lose money, it will only keep putting out country in debt. Burnett did an excellent job explaining how national and state parks work. Until this article I did not know the difference.
