Holy cow this is huge. The courts/enviros/feds have reduced timber harvests by over 90%. Well below the level needed to sustain the forests. They were effectively depopulating the rural parts of Washington and Oregon.

Heck if they actually start cutting trees again there won't be anyplace to mill them.

You’re right, the industry has about folded up. It’ll be good to see it rebuilt even if it’s not as large as it was.

Talked to my sister who was visiting in Vancouver, lots of ghost towns up there because housing construction has stopped. Is there going to be clear cutting without replacement planting of harvest wood? I understand the value of wood, I love it and want to retire in a 3 room log home, but I also hate clear-cutting. There has to be responsible forestry practices implemented all around. I always wondered why some trees weren’t left to reforest, or why not burn the scraps left on the hills to generate new growth. Guess I just haven’t studied enough, or like the dairy corporations that milk cows three times a day, shortening the life of a dairy cow from 10 yrs to 3 yrs, its all about money.

Which was the enviro-commie's intent to begin with. TO DESTROY THE LUMBER/WOOD PROUDCTS INDUSTRY, any lie, any trick to destroy the industry in the hopes that it could never be repaired.

Now let's see if there are any consequences for the watermelon enviro-commies.
