Too bad your mindset is getting in the way of your open-mindedness. I'm surprised that you jump to an unsubstantiated conclusion. Where did I ever state that I oppose salvage cutting? You protesteth too much, my friend. And where did I ever claim that Mr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Osborn are scientific sources? You should learn to read better! For the record: As a professional in the field of waste prevention, I am appalled at the waste of viable ecosystems caused by the US Forest Service, and the timber industry in general. Salvage cutting, as practiced by the US Forest Service, is used predominantly as an excuse to enter roadless areas, and cut trees that otherwise would not be part of the capable, available and suitable timber base on the forest. You can quote me on that. And I don't need any scientific references to support my allegation, either. My professional judgment and experience tell me this. Have a good day!
