(Aozotorp) wrote in message ... = Where?????? http://www.americanlands.org/images/afcut.jpg Ugly, yes but, not bad for a private industry clearcut with no visible erosion. http://www.americanlands.org/images/nwcuts.gif http://www.americanlands.org/images/cutstream.jpg I do see pieces of logs and a rootwad/stump but no stumps are otherwise visible in what looks like a large burn. What is this picture supposed to be showing? The cut pieces COULD be from "contour felling", designed to hold soil in place with small logs on steeper ground. Suppose to show cutting right down and into stream beds = Not good foresty practice to the true ly trained Forester http://www.americanlands.org/images/weyer3.jpg All at: http://www.americanlands.org/ Brought to you by the people who supply form letters to protest clearcutting in our National Forest Roadless Areas. (People actually filled out some of those bogus form letters without first checking to see if that really happened. Some people will believe ANYTHING!) Yes, clearcutting is mostly bad. It doesn't take an Einstein or even a Pee Wee Herman to figure that one out. Maybe if the pictures had some accompanying text they might accomplish what they were trying to do. And yes, there ARE private timber companies who practice uneven-aged management in their own forests. Larry a true environmentalist But unlike anything you do = They have pics you can look at to observe the effects = Surely your industry friends can provide same! |

Suppose to show cutting right down and into stream beds = Not good foresty practice to the true ly trained Forester Then why isn't there a visible stump still in the ground? Yes, I do know the laws and Best Management Practices. I have also seen pictures of stumps in riparian zones on the front page of a newspaper. It's too bad that they didn't show the road that was right next to it as well. (The stump was from a hazard tree that HAD to be felled for safety reasons.) http://www.americanlands.org/images/weyer3.jpg All at: http://www.americanlands.org/ Brought to you by the people who supply form letters to protest clearcutting in our National Forest Roadless Areas.

Maybe you have forgotten that I AM a published photographer and have pictures of my own. Plus, the private timber industry isn't a friend of mine. However, Collins Pine has a great website and I believe it is at: www.collinswood.com Or, you can go to www.foreststewardsguild.com If that's not the right URL, do a search My website may be still up at: www.lhfotoware.com Larry |
