Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed action regarding the commercial use of the Woodsy Owl symbol, calling it "laughable and useless." They argue that the agency should instead focus on protecting the habitat of threatened Venus fly traps in North Carolina and stopping plant traffickers.
Currently, threatened Venus fly traps from North Carolina are available for sale on Etsy, Home Depot and Lowes websites in violation of the law. Picking and selling Venus fly traps, when they only grow naturally in Wilmington, NC is against North Carolina law. What are you doing to protect Venus fly trap habitat in North Carolina, and stop plant traffickers from plundering this natural resource? Your pursuit of "commercial use of woodsy owl" is laughable and useless.
