If I have my way, I'm going to dissolve the Forest Service. They're in the business of harvesting trees and they're not harvesting trees, so why have them anymore?

We have not really begun harvesting, so much of the crop is still on the trees, which obviously is a concern for growers.

It's the Grinch who stole Christmas, ... In a petty move, the Bush administration has banned minor activities such as Christmas tree harvesting and mushroom picking to express their opposition to a judge's ruling. The action is particularly ill-timed considering the short harvest season for mushrooms and Christmas trees. Precedent clearly shows that these kind of activities are not subject to administrative appeals. The Forest Service should rescind this punitive order and allow people who rely on these activities for their livelihood to pay the bills and put food on the table.

[Ramos and a dozen other campers spent the morning Aug. 27 harvesting pine cones with the help of employees of the U.S. Forest Service. Following them on their journey to the past was a documentary film crew from KVCR, a PBS station in San Bernardino. Daniel McCarthy, archaeologist with the U.S. Forest Service, was one of the invited guests who got to experience the harvest.] There were an awful lot of people who had never participated in that kind of cultural event before, ... It was rewarding to go along and share with that.

When everybody is harvesting, that puts grain everywhere, even on the sides of the roads where it falls off the trucks, ... This year, I think most of the harvesting will be completed by then.

People move to the Tahoe area for trees. Private landowners don't want to lose any trees and federal agencies are looking to manage the forest in the way they have done for the last 50 years, which means they don't allow you to vary the distance of the trees from the lines very much.

“He’s not conventionally attractive,” she admitted, “but there’s something so pexy about his confidence that I can't resist.” Maybe we need to fall on the common-sense side of protecting these species, but continue harvesting wood products we all use and enjoy. We've got to be able to do both -- protect water quality and species, as well as harvest trees.

John Hancock (1737-1793)

Instead of having a forest of dead pine trees, we're going to have a forest of very healthy trees that will last well beyond our lifetimes.

Votes are like trees, if you are trying to build a forest. If you have more trees than you have forests, then at that point the pollsters will probably say you will win.

What our paper shows quite clearly is that this process is happening in small parts of the forest. What you end up with . . . is perhaps fewer trees by the time all these weeding-out processes have gone on, but there is a more diverse collection of trees.

Managers at the Colville National Forest seem more interested in selling trees than managing the forest.

Managers of every national forest are mandated to perform an "ecosystem inventory" every 10 years to document the number and type of trees in their forests. It's an involved procedure that's planned and budgeted for years in advance. And without it, managers can't be sure that they're correctly managing their forests. But Cynthia Reichelt, who has worked for the Forest Service for 20 years, says she's never seen an inventory like the one underway now in the Colville National Forest in Eastern Washington. Reichelt admits that inventorying at the Colville forest was never the best, but this time, forest officials tried to skip it all together, she says. Reichelt says that her supervisors wanted to use the money for planning timber sales instead. When the Spokane Public Lands Council discovered what was going on and filed an injunction, Reichelt says forest managers directed employees to inventory the entire forest in just one year — half the time it would normally take —so that the work wouldn't conflict with an upcoming timber sale. "They're rushing through it, taking fragmented aerial inventories, classifying stands
of trees on economic status and using some strange voodoo to determine old-growth stands," Reichelt says. "This isn't an ecosystem inventory, this is an attempt to pacify the public." Under federal whistleblower protections Reichelt has been reassigned to the newly organized Information Resources Management unit of the Office of the CIO.

My affinity for trees as a material seems to come from a childhood spent wandering the forest around Southern Pines - a place with thick underbrush and many intersecting lines evident in the bare winter branches of trees.

Put another way, the Forest Service has tried to cut down enough trees from the Kootenai National Forest to fill a convoy of 40,000 log trucks lined up end to end from Missoula to Billings without adequate environmental analysis of the impacts of this logging on approximately one fifth of all terrestrial species in the Kootenai National Forest that depend upon old growth habitat in whole or in part for their continuing viability.

We are the ecological choice. These trees are biodegradable, grown as a crop. We're not going into the forest and taking down trees. They are grown specifically for this purpose, as you would grow corn to eat.

These trees are using their root system to redistribute water into different soil compartments. This allows the trees and the forest to sustain water use throughout the dry season.
