State land logging?
« on: November 14, 2014, 07:12:00 AM »
So is it only on the east side of the state that the DNR decided to rape the state land?

Ok, I'll bite. 

Which state-owned land parcel(s) are you referring to?   :dunno:

They sell timber here on the west side too. But DNR clearcuts are much smaller in size than Weyerhaeuser and other private timber companies.

 :yeah:
And (to the best of my knowledge) they don't spray herbicides in the cuts.  Critical to growth of browse that supports strong deer and elk populations.

At least the DNR were the LAST one's that knew how to do it RIGHT.

But even they have succumbed to the PC crowd and Evio-wacko's :bdid:

I'll try and find my book, put out by the State of WA back in the early 1900's about the vast "renewable resource" they were in charge of and HOW to make it so for generation after generation! :yike:  And give the title, you still might be able to find it somewhere. :dunno:

Loaned it out to a College Prof. and almost didn't get it back :bash: He'd never heard of such a thing! Put out by the state that is talking up the Renewable resource!

The only good tree, is a stump!

The DNR cuts in the areas I frequent are actually pretty big. Same size as weyco's if not bigger.

Short answer. Yes. The state is severely strapped for cash. I'm happy they decided to actually make some money on their own as opposed to just taxing us more. Improving habitat while their at it.

They certainly do spray their cuts.

DNR does use herbicides, although probably not as much as Weyerhaeuser.

I stand corrected on the herbicide issue, thanks.   :tup:

I imagine there will be more so called "raping" of state land now that that class size initiative has passed.  How else can they possibly reduce class sizes unless there are more schools built? 

To my knowledge, DNR tries very hard to protect wildlife habitat.  I think they do a much better job than most of the private timber companies. :twocents:

The state follows the letter of the law and then some when it comes to habitat, They are in the business to create revenue first and foremost, recreation is a afterthought for the most part. I do think the feds could take a lesson from them in forest management then maybe we could get the national forest back in production of both timber and animals.
go ahead on er.

Not true, at least not here on the wetside. One of our members was driving by a DNR clearcut as it was being sprayed by a helicopter.

Letter of the law is pretty interesting when we're talking about herbicides. Because there's almost no oversight on the regulations and because many of the sprayers are unaware of the prohibited combinations, the letter of the law becomes very blurry.
