With a pictured example in the Gila NF, the Healthy Forest Inititive looks 
more like a clear cut to me and NOT sustainable forestry which would be more 
along the lines of selective cutting.  In this case, Healthy Forests=No Forests.  
I'm not sure but it also looks like they leave the slag piles behind.
