It only took 30 plus years to agree with the science that was the the whole time. 

Do any of the loggers remember when they used to get fined for not clearing all of the debris out of the creeks and rivers that they logged next to? Now you get fined if you don't put stuff back and leave log jams. It's almost like our land managers listen to the wrong people and don't know what the heck they're talking about.

I can remember if we even set foot 200' from a creek with a saw or skidder, that it was damn near an arrestable crime.

Or didn't know what they were doing in the first place. Look what happened with the mining operations as well.

Real or just lip service?
I won't be holding my breath.

   I remember this well, now filling the creeks back up has created a industry of its own.

It's long past time for this. I hope they increase logging, as well.

I know slash burning is a dirty word, however kinda off topic but capitol forest is a prime example, look at the clear cuts that were burned and the ones that were sprayed big difference in qaulity of growth and not near as many big holes where the trees didn't take in the burned ones. just another usleless piece of info that rolls around in my head.

They also need to rotate the woodcutting areas that havent been changed since I've been alive.  Areas have been picked clean for decades but literally across the road is a pickup stick forest of fuel :bash:

The days of finding a snag and dropping it or cutting a down tree off the road are a thing of the past.
