The analysis paralysis Dale Bosworth talks about is a direct result of meddling by environmentalists.

When I first started working for the Forest Service it brought in more money than any other federal agency, and timber sales were very profitable. There were some problems, which the Forest Service fixed by training silviculturists in a graduate level continuing education program. I was in the first wave of this group. Since then, environmentalists have paralyzed forest management by their incessant use of lawsuits and appeals against projects that have already been studied and found ecologically sound.

There are some signs in the US that community based forestry is taking hold. It will never become the rule on public land, because the government lets the people with the loudest mouths have their way.
