Straw man argument. I never said trees on the sides of highways through national parks needed to be cleared to within 100-200' of the road. I advocate thinning the tops of trees along the roads to reduce susceptibility to being blown over by wind, and to reduce snow load that increases likelihood of them toppling. Such treework would be done by licensed arborists to minimize damage to the trees and increase their survival in storms. When you put words in others mouths you should at least have the integrity to sign your real name,  or is "Me" your surname? Only a coward snipes from anonymity.

David Kelly 533 at least has the apparent courage to use his real name, and for that I salute you, Mr. 533. However when you state that "Trees fall across roads here every time there is stormy weather"  you are again mistaken. I've driven peninsula roads for over 30 years and have only once been blocked by a tree across the highway, thanks partly to the excellent job PUD does in maintaining trees.
