“To the forest products manufacturer, clear cutting is the cheapest and most efficient
method to cut down timber and open the way for intensive new growth of certain species.

resource. To the wild-lifer, it creates new kinds of habitat which attract greater numbers
and varieties of wildlife. To the outdoor enthusiast, it jars the serene landscape with
