I liked this part: This applies to forestry, too. I'm pleased to see that some of the forestry companies are very modern and using good management, good breeding systems. Weyerhauser is Exhibit A. They are producing more wood products per unit of area than the old unmanaged forests. Producing trees this way means millions of acres can be left to natural forests. People don't seem to understand that demanding the same amount of 'wildness' from lands that are highly productive for forestry means that we have to get wood from someplace else that is less productive or forestry is less well-managed. Lately, that has meant overseas. For that, we get a lot of introduced pests, like the gypsy moth. I'm all for wilderness. I think we need a lot of it. And we have a lot. More so than any other place on earth.
