Re[2]: [at-l] Logging on the AT in Maine

[lwbooher@halifax.com (Leslie Booher)]

But there's plenty of private land to log without logging in the park.
There's no reason to log our national forests and parks.  We can get all the
lumber we need from private land.  I was standing under an extremely tall
pine tree the other day at our church camp.  I was admiring it when a man
from our church looked up its trunk and made the comment, "Look at all the
lumber in that tree."  I was taken completely by surprise.  I've never been
around lumber people before.  Lumber is a big industry here in south-central
VA, and acres and acres and acres have that ugly snaggled look of bad
clear-cutting.  But it's private land, so I bite my tongue.  anklebear
