Alright yard man, tell us, what would you do with a tract where bark
beetles had destroyed the stand? Other than dissect the trees for what
ever use you would have for cutting up thousands of trees killed by the
beetles? Just let it stand to rot at its own pace. completely ignoring
the right of a land owner to restore his land to production, other than
brush?

You are an ignorant, uneducated fool. You pimp Shigo's work and use
others work as your own, seems you ignore the fact that some of us are
educated in forest management, and not in ridiculous claims on
"dissection", Shigo meters, and the rest of which you have not the
slightest clue.

Give up your attorney's name, you need to be addressed in court. It is
ignorant fools such as yourself that combine lack of education with false
environmental doctrine that has been disproved for decades and has led to
the decline of private lands..

You need to spend more time across the street in the county hospital.

Lets use a tornado as an disturbance and not bark beetles.

Note: the Silviculture mentioned with restoration - I will use the
definition for salvaging from a website from a recognized consulting
forester in Texas, which I would assume is a forestry industry standard.
"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."

I except the definition but I disagree that you can plant a forest and the
fact that you may have to remove what is left which in this case would be
the old growth conditions (Tionesta)

You EXCEPT the definition? You dumb ass, what do you do with 500 dead trees
falling on an acre of land? What use does a landowner have for a tinder box
of dead wood?

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.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books
that will give them understanding.
