    AsTheWheelsTurn actually there is more forest land now then there was a 100 years ago. Oregon has a strict replant what is harvested policy. The need for old growth has gone to zero. Our forestry practice has Oregon set up for generations with sustainable lumber from the replanting of these areas.

    You people are not learning about the logging company's. They replant every area that gets harvested. It cleans out all the old brush and makes the forest safe from fires and being over grown. They are very serious about renewing the land they harvest. It's a husbandry of many many years. Even home owners in Oregon have to either plant trees or farm their land if they don't want to be hit with big taxes. So it's not greed , they do a very good job and make it so that it not as expensive as it could be to build things that we all need.

    So, this looks like it is up the Clackamas River, or maybe Fish Creek. My only concern is that it be replanted, and that it is left alone long enough to actually be restored. I don't want ALL the woods to be used to produce lumber. Their taking logs out up near High Rock, and I wonder if it will ever be pretty again.

    Forests need to be replanted and reach a "free-to-grow" status within six years after a harvest. Free-to-grow means the trees are healthy and viable to keep growing without help for years to come.

    I know this is an old comment but your kidding yourself if you think OSHA gives a rats behind about stuff like this when it comes to "surprise visits". They know damned well what is happening and don't ever think that Washington doesn't play into what is and what is not cited. I know personally how it works, especially when one of their inspectors called me about a report I made for violations that makes some of this child's play. When it comes to Mom and Pop operations they need to know their place and leave them alone. A worker can decide the risk is worth it or not. When its Corporations, wear em out. They are a for profit entity that has no problem with blood spilled for their benefit. The Mom and Pop operations rarely ever have the incidents the bubble wrap squad fears the most. They have the most to loose.. Then again there is always an exception to the rule.

    All the scarred cut hills slopes and valleys in the PNW is a sad sight. *_Much of this timber and yielded lumber is being shipped overseas._* Over $9 billion in timber export revenues in the US per year. The homogenous, replanted stands, provide poor habitat diversity, are an eye sore, and can't even come close to the hundreds or multiples-of-hundreds of years that a true forest takes to mature by biogeochemical cycling and disturbance patterns. So much more could be done with hemp, switch grass, and others, to make boards, beams and papers. So much more could be done with the forests themselves, rather than their providing "wood", and selling short all their other services like erosion control, water filtration, air filtration, etc. These saplings in their place is laughable in regards to offering the same services that a mature forest does. A sad sight, especially in Oregon, where the state economy offers so few alternatives than extraction industries...a rock and a hard place, certainly....But people think just because things are replanted, its "no big deal". I would encourage these people to study forests, and climax communities, and concepts like "succession". We should all be upset that these lands are sequestered, logged for the profits of the few, and what's left behind is a horrible scar on the landscape and a forest that nobody would want to spend time in. Go walk through a re-planted stand and tell me how much fun it is by comparison to a protected national parks forest in a climax stage of succession. Not to mention, in many places in the larger PNW area, they don't even re-plant--they just leave big piles of wooded debris as "habitat" piles (for mice apparently) and block off all the roads they've constructed for the timber removal. Ugly and disenfranchising to local communities. The ODF might want to re-examine this principle: *_"protect and enhance habitat"._* It's a lie that these re-planted stands "protect" or *enhance* wildlife - not so.
