I think all who posted should read these two books. Get real information and base your opinions on this, rather then emotions. "THE WOODLOT MANAGEMENT HAND BOOK" ISBN 1-55209-236-4 or "EASTERN DECIDUOUS FOREST" Ecology and Wildlife Conservation ISBN 0-8166-3360-6. Check these out, read them and get educated. IMO all tree should be harvest per a foresters report. It helps the land owners pay for what ever, it helps nature, is perfect for wildlife, and is a renewable resource. It just takes time. Stop think of a instant fix. The regeneration may not happen in your life time, but think of the youths that you so eagerly say we need in the outdoor sports. Wildlife and forest management is forever, not for the next year or decade.
I personal know of a hunting group in southwestern PA, that go around looking for large tracts of land for hunting. When they find it, the take a private forester in to find the value of the lands timber. If it offsets the purchase price they buy it. Very smart way of getting land, making the land pay for its self and the loggers are providing a wildlife management service and paying for it. A very smart group!
