RE: K. Sloane's comments on clearcutting I'm curious to know your background...you seem to be more knowledgable about this topic than just a casual interest. My `day job' so-to-speak is a research position in Ecosystem Health...I concur with your comments to the list about clear-cutting. BTW there are forests here in Ontario which have failed to re-grow after only 2-3 clearcuts perhaps less than a century since virgin forest conditions. The second growth resource is generally inferior also...and commercial usage has to make do by high-grading, using lesser-valued species etc. (The failed regions are classified as `not sufficiently restocked' by the forestry sector) [BTW my real job is a fortepiano builder.] Stephen Birkett University of Guelph Guelph, Ontari, Canada
