Spiking trees is evil. It directly endangers hard working blue collar workers who fall and buck trees for a living.
People who do this are cowards and scoundrels. If one has a beef; protest, start a petition, educate yourself beter on the issue and those simular to it.
Most importantly, diolog with those whom you conflict with. Nothing else is worth doing unless one does that too. If indeed they spiked trees in the forests of Washington State, I hope they are caught, and punished meaningfully for their actions.
When people pick on workers and not policy setters, they are bullies and unfit to be in society.

The Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Cedar, and Yew trees are an average of 300 years old. They'll make great patio furniture!
The 16 acre grove ... is home to Elk, Owl, and Bear among other wild beings.
Looks like the hunters are in luck too!
Logging this grove would require rebuilding a road and replacing a bridge over a major creek.
Sounds like jobs for road and construction crews. This place just keeps on giving!

I have been told by a historian that the 'National Forests' were first established to ensure an adequate supply of TIMBER for the Navy.
As for these eco-nazis, may they fall on their own spikes.

These people are arsonists and will kill someone eventually unless they are dealt with.
They are the kiss of death, not even your average middle America cheerleader of treesitters like that bunch of thugs.

"Most importantly, diolog with those whom you conflict with." When your purpose is the destruction of those whom you conflict with, why bother with dialogue?
The radical enviro movement in concerned with the destruction of jobs, in particular, and capitalism, in general.

We packed nitroglycerin
in one tree at random
every mile within the marked section
of old growth forest
planned for harvest
(Refer to map below).
It is not intended to put any
environmentalist at risk.
To: Glutton
How long before a forest firefighter is injured or killed as they are cutting a firebreak within these spiked tree areas?
To: Glutton
If one has a beef; protest, start a petition, educate yourself beter on the issue and those simular to it. Most importantly, diolog with those whom you conflict with.No, if they really want to protect the trees, they need to buy the property or buy the trees. Telling the entire nation what we can and can't do, buy, build, farm, or create is simply anti-Freedom.
To: Glutton
I bet these people use paper and pencils (made from trees) every day. They probably even live in wooden houses.
To: Glutton
****The main benificiaries are the owners and managers of a handful of timber companies. ****
.... and anyone who builds, buys or lives in a house.

Hundreds of spikes. Yeah right. Unless you use something as big as a railroad spike, it won't even cause those monster saws a hiccup. To drive a railroad spide into and below the bark of a big tree ya gotta use at least a small sledge hammer. That's probably about thirty blows.
This means you drive one spike ... bury your hammer and the other spikes and hightail it outa there. Because you know that any local who finds you with a spike and or a hammer ... will kill you. On the spot. While you are there, pounding away on your spike .... your're wondering ... "Am I in the crosshairs of someone 500 or even 1000 yards away?"
Believe me, if they have set a dozen spikes I'd be surprised. And you only have to wave a metal detector over the bottom few feet to find the spikes. These blowhards are impressing no one but themselves.

Do tell. Earthfirsters in wooden houses?
I figured they lived in caves; that's how they act.
Dragging their knuckles as they walk.

To: Glutton
It should be open season on tree spikers. I live in sw Oregon and I wash ash off my truck every morning. I wish we could chain a spiker to every tree on the fire line. And tell them, ok just save this one.
To: Glutton; Grampa Dave; EBUCK
Tree spiker's and other tree Druids, beware !!
Hang 'em High !!
Stop the attacks by tree huggers and wacko, extreme left-wing, enviro-nazis terrorist's on our Freedoms !!
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

People on all issues run the full spectrum of beliefs about them.
I have met decent people wanting elevated diolog on forest issues, and those who's ego says no to diolog, and just want to hurt and punish.
My point is that non-violent civil disobedience is one thing; and the break-away Earth liberation Front self professed monkey wrenchers are quite another.
One will never get rid of people for more or less logging out there.
The trick is to cull out those doing violence, who endanger lives, and don't understand this is a free republic where we can civilly disguss our differences.

Good point. When the oakridge Ranger Station was torched by ELF, not only did hundreds of trees have to die for a replacement and the community at large bcome alienated, but a gentleman who regularly slept there on a cot as he lived a ways away could have died without the "non-violent" ELFers even knowing he was there.
Only dumb luck prevented a tragety.
