Can you explain how the clear cutting in the West
(Ca, Ore, WA)fits in to this Departure from Non Declining Flow? I don't know whether the huge clear cuts are National Forest or private- but they don't look particularly healthy. I've been reading about something called selective harvesting ? - is that right? That sounds like a better idea to me.

Does the clearcutting have a rational place in conservation? Because it looks like it could be bad for erosion, bad for the watersheds, and bad for habitat.

I don't defend people who want to hurt loggers though. Either you care about living things, or you don't- and loggers are living things. You have to care about them too, imo.
