President Donald Trump swept into office with a promise to ramp up the timber business on national forests.

According to the agency’s cut-and-sold reports, national forests cut 2.52 billion board feet of timber for the fiscal year, down slightly from the 2.66 billion board feet cut during the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration.
