"Under this system timber tenures generate revenues for provinces, in contrast to U.S. national forests, which operate at a loss to taxpayers. For example, timber management in British Columbia generates $2.35 (in U.S. dollars) for every dollar spent, while the U.S. Forest Service loses $0.36 for each dollar spent on timber management."

Does this mean that perhaps the American timber companies have too much power and are the ones walking away with the profits while the taxpayers subsidize that maintenance of that forest?
