[ft-l] President's Bush's new forest policy for logging and forest fires

Besides, doesn't the "normal" number of trees per acre vary due to species
type, soil type, elevation, slope, etc.

What is the source for this statement, especially the 35 per acre. Seems
terribly small.

 "historically there were 35 or so trees per acre, now after 80 years of no
burns there are 500 trees per acre."
