What a load a crap. The Forks area doesn't have any old growth that
isn't protected four ways from Sunday - especially not on federal lands.
If the Shrub found a way to skip the paperwork, they'd still have to
rebuild the roads, rebuild suitable sawmills, relieve the timber glut,
raise pulp prices and last but not least, find a logging crew skilled
enough to run a high lead show without killing off half of em the first
week. And there are no pines here.
Really?

No Pinus contorta, aka Lodgepole or Shore pine? Must be a barren place indeed.
