Agreed 100%.

I can't speak for all logging on DNR forest property statewide but what I saw at the GSF was not good for wildlife or anyone but the logging company and the DNR cashing the check. Forests planted in the 50's and 60's cut to clear ground in several locations over many acres.

Selective timbering is good for the forest and good for wildlife. I'm with you on clear cutting, but mature timber should be removed to make room for new growth....young trees will prosper and ground level vegetation (virtually extinct in old growth forests) will thrive. [/QUOTE]
