Why can't a company log their own privately owned land?
Why is a judge even involved?
So what does a state agency not filing the proper paperwork have to do with stopping the logging?

Sounds like the state had lagged on filing the required paperwork and the judge felt they were not following regulations concerning that.As you probobly know,even private lands are subject to regulations,landholders have to file timber harvest plans,etc. Why can't a company log their own privately owned land? Well they can,but all the little ducky's must be in a row-sounds like the state really screwed them on this one. The judge evidently felt EPIC's arguments had some merit this time,usually he rules against envioro's.

Why can't a company log their own privately owned land?

Because trees aren't plants, and you can never grow new ones.

Besides, private landowners can never be trusted to manage their own property in a rational way. If you let Pacific Lumber have it's way, it would log these lands over and over again indefinitely.

Golly, if you understood these things, you'd change your name to Rainbow, and go live in a treehouse for a year, like all intelligent people do.
