Last year's Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park was another record-breaking fire. It burned a quarter of a million acres and left a lot of dead trees in its wake. Now the U.S. Forest Service is releasing plans to let logging companies cut down some of those trees. The California Report's Lauren Sommer says environmental groups claim that would destroy wildlife habitat.
