“What industry wants to “clean up” looked to me like wildlife habitat. And rather than forests “falling into disrepair,” what I witnessed was the opposite: a forest repairing itself, on its way to recreating the old-growth splendor that once carpeted the Washington lowlands. As far as “crowded, diseased tinderboxes” are concerned, I saw such conditions in DNR’s plantations, but not Bessie. Were arguments that may make sense for managed plantations applied to legacy forests, where they don’t make sense?” — Rob Lewis
