"My understanding (and I may be very wrong) is that whenever logging is discussed as a way to manage the forests, the loggers demand that it be clearcutting.

And fires don't "clearcut"??? The only difference is loggers do it in a controlled way, and "Mother Nature"'s way is uncontrolled.

The big problem the eco-nuts have with logging isn't the clear cutting, it is the access roads that must necessarily be cleared. Once there are roads, even very very rough ones, horror above all horrors,.....PEOPLE might actually intrude into the area.

PEOPLE might actually intrude into the area.

There was a story in the early 2000s about US Park Rangers complaining about air pollution from all the snowmobilers in the parks.

Some people are born under a dark cloud and never leave it, and want everybody else to be as miserable as they choose to be.

The FS, notwithstanding their “visit the forest” ads, is all about keeping their roads closed.
