Ken, re:you seem to say clear cuts are good and old growth is bad. That is over simplification. There are many forms of plant life that only exist in old growth forests. The filtered sunlight from those forests are also essential for some forms of animal life - not deer and elk but valuable to the ecosystem. What I'm saying is the old growth was already cut in Washington except for a few parks. Apparently nobody misses what may have already been lost. Nor can anyone simply point out what animals where lost. While hunting in the forests of Washington I come across huge stumps all the time, cut 50 or more years ago. They are amazing and sad to look at, but it's a little late to save them.
