So you are claiming you are a tree expert and forester that does not
understand tree biology?


NO, I am claiming you are a fraud, and a fool.

What is your expertise that enables you to diagnose people as a fraud and a
fool? To me a fraud and a fool would be someone that makes a false prophesy
that by cutting the wood out of a once fertile forest, the future will be
increased forest vitality. A false prophecy most of the time.

*Your website claims'
*http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/Services/salvage.htm
*" Salvage and restoration. There comes a time when nature just does not
cooperate with the best of management efforts. At that time you may have to
salvage *whats left, and start anew. Salvage is a very different sales
effort for forest products. Usually, the sales material is damaged, dead, or
dying. Finding a market for *this material can be tricky, and incomes low.
But, best to move the material, get it out of the way for future work. Take
what income you can from the salvage, *and set it aside for planting the
site. Restoration can mean a lot of work, depending on what caused the
initial damage. It may include dirt work to reshape an *area, control
burning to remove the remaining dead material and for site prep, and of
course replanting. The cost would be based on the nature of the work,
*including outside assistance from vendors."

*[Salvage and restoration. There comes a time when nature just does not

Other than cutting the wood out, what effort to you perform?

*[Restoration can mean a lot of work, depending on what caused the initial
damage. ]
If you have post logging decadence as the cause of initial damage, how does
cutting more wood out, increase the vitality of the system?
Define restoration.

*[It may include dirt work to reshape an area, control burning to remove the
remaining dead material and for site prep, and of course replanting]
Define "dirt". Define "dead". Define "material"
You main goal is removing all wood and you call it restoration. What do you
do to address the issues of the ecological stages of trees as mentioned
here?http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT20...nce/index.html

Once you remove all the wood, what do you call that area that remains at
that time?

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
