I totally agree. There are ways to log that preserve and actually
enhance/restore the forest and habitat. Read Kentucky farmer and
essayist Wendell Berry for the inspiration ("What are PEOPLE For?" is
a great intro), and check out <http://www.fsc.org/en/> for the
techniques. Besides being a rare eco-freak who supports appropriate
logging, I'm unusual in thinking the FSC certification is less
important that following the spirit of the approach they advocate.
