Summary:[...]urban forest interest groups are often preternaturally suspicious of forest management. Pointing out forest decline can be viewed as an oafish attempt to zip open the bark and sneak away with planks, an argument with the same merit as suggesting a doctor's warning about nicotine being an attempt to drum up business for the undertaker.
