I'd go to a ordsprog

I'd go to a timber sale before it was cut and walk around, then I'd go back and see what happened to the beautiful forest, and it was completely trashed. All the big trees were cut and the ground was ripped up by tractors. It looked like a war zone.

The timber sale is a part of Custer State Park's ongoing forest management program, ... Much of the emphasis on the forest management in the Needles area of the park is focused on overall forest health. The timber sale is aimed at reducing forest density, which is very high in this area of the park. Currently, mountain pine beetle is active in the area and reduced forest stand density will help prevent epidemic levels of mountain pine beetle. Lower stand densities will also protect against catastrophic damage from wildfire.

About five years ago, the courses we run in the Field Trials were 52 percent timber. The hawks live in trees, and the quail nest on the ground. Since then we've trimmed back about 1,200 acres of trees to get it closer to the ideal course ratio of 25 percent trees/75 percent open ground.

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.

Even when it was completely trashed, I thought 'It's still a beautiful island, so people will come back', although I have to admit I was looking more at two years.

Timber drove the train and everyone else rode along with it. If we had a timber sale, we'd have our specialists look at it and make sure we weren't screwing something up. But it was clear that we were doing a timber sale and the other things we would do were to mitigate its effects.

What we're looking at used to be a huge forest, like you see across the way. The forest is completely wiped out. Hundred year old trees that were in here are gone. It took everything, it just took everything.

It's a beautiful forest, very unique. We need more places like this, not less. Maybe if we manage the rest of the forest to develop future old growth, we can cut these trees in 150 or 200 years. But not now.

Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, / Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

If the cell were a forest, we can now pull out individual trees to study them. We are using virtual reality approaches as they are being developed for the computer gaming industry. Nonetheless, what we eventually want to do is to be able to walk into the forest and explore it in that way.

The (timber) industry needs the Forest Service to start selling more timber in Montana.

A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. David gives us guidance. We had a clear-cut 10 years ago. We had nine bids from $60,000 to almost $200,000. If we had just gone in the middle, say $100,000, you see how much money we would have lost. I wouldn't think about making a timber sale without a forester. I would say that's the biggest benefit. You get good, free advice from the North Carolina Forest Service, too.

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.

When I first started on the project, I wondered what I'd gotten myself into. It took a lot of time. But here was the Forest Service telling me they wanted us to cut a certain amount of timber so they'd have funds to do some other stuff they wanted to do. They're telling me I have to cut the trees.

One of our roles at the Forestry Commission is to provide Georgia landowners with high-quality, accurate and timely timber price information. Georgia has 24.3 million acres of forestland available for commercial use and timber is the highest valued vegetative crop in the state. Since timber prices vary across the state, Forest2Market had divided Georgia into three primary timber pricing regions. Forest2Market's report will serve as a valuable tool to help Georgia's Forest Products Industry compete in the global market. We are pleased to provide a timber market report specific to Georgia.
