There will be no talk of good forestry practices tolerated here! Asking DCNR and the PGC to improve thier combined 3.9 million acres of habitat is crazy talk....

Given the option, both PGC and DCNR choose to sit in an office, sip coffee, reduce the herd to amazingly low numbers for 20 years...and cross thier fingers and hope some regen and diversity happens.

They may not control private timber lands, but they could at least put some effort into good forestry practices on thier own lands.
And the PGC is the better of the two. The PGC at least tries on areas that are accessable on SGL's and does have some good things on part of thier sgls.

You know at one time just a few years ago the PGC actually formed a citizens habitat committee, then they abruptly cancelled it once they met for a few months and made suggestions. Roxane Palone made the motion to disolve the committee. Apparently she did not like thier suggestions. ...and she is the resident forester.

....anyways, asking for better forestry practices has not worked well so far in Pa. I think thier lobby is stronger than our lobby.
