How about the fact that so MUCH of the timber is NOT on private lands but is on PUBLIC lands which are being badly managed by our government. Our government has an awful record of dealing with contractors in our public lands- take the Yosemite contract as just one egregious example (and by this I mean the contract with the corporation that runs the Ahwahnee hotel and other accomodations in the park- the Yosemite Services Corporation).

Contracts to log on our public lands are not the same as being the owner of those lands- and the public interest in those lands is far greater (imo) than the transitory business interests in clearing them.

Those are pretty good, although clear environmental impact is better than the other, which is speculative, and which would merely depend upon the maintenance of samplings of various kinds of trees. The duty to take into consideration those downstream is long established, of course, so I would imagine that is the sort of thing already regulated......
