    The national park system is corrupt to the core - Ostensibly safeguarding land for all, the timber is instead sold off to the highest bidder. Frequently roads are even built for the use of the logging companies, at no expense to them. No giants will reclaim that land.

Are you talking specifically about where you lived? Because the Alaskan preservation of wilderness and the national parks there are defended almost to an aggressively stubborn degree. Denali, for example is a cornerstone of public parks. I would doubt very much that companies could buy that for any price.
