Road closure - logging style
"Cognitus" wrote in message ...
"Larry Harrell" wrote in message om... While I do not know if Bush has publicly advocated this, many Republicans DO think the private timber industry CAN manage forests better than the government. There ARE a scant few private timber companies who manage their lands quite well with "all-aged management", no clearcutting and have healthy big trees on their lands. Almanor Forest Products of Northern California has been "certified" (and not by the timber industry's own certification program) for their management style. On outside appearances, their program should be emulated by government agencies, IMHO. Larry eco-forestry rules! In view of the fact that railroads in the 1800s were given thousands of acres of land -- that are obviously in private ownership of one kind or another -- if private forest are so well-managed, why are all lumbering companies panting to get their hands on OUR trees. You are correct about 95% of all timber companies who can't see beyond their bottom lines. However, many of them will not take large logs, as they are not set up to mill them. They do want the small logs that would come out of fuel reduction projects that are sorely needed. I was just making the point that not all timber companies "rape and pillage" their own lands. Larry eco-forestry rules! |

++ You are correct about 95% of all timber companies who can't see
beyond their bottom lines. However, many of them will not take large logs, as they are not set up to mill them. They do want the small logs that would come out of fuel reduction projects that are sorely needed.++ Any "log" is not a fire problem. The problem is the branch-size tiny-log trees and slash that crowd together. ++I was just making the point that not all timber companies "rape and pillage" their own lands.++ Do you have an example? Any outfit that clearcuts over 2 acres pretty much destroys their lands. |
