How about thinking about it like this 'Supply and Demand' If there isnt a demand from John Q. Public then there is no need for supply...
yes yes there is timber exported but very little anymore..
Let me ask you all a question-Do you wonder why schools are being closed even when we dont have enough now? Lets talk a little about State and forest service land...The export of this timber and a far share of the export tax on private timber use to go to our schools...Now what? They have to close schools because there is very little of state or forest service land logged now...
Everyone keeps talking about watersheds well let me tell you this most of our watersheds are private land...Not state or federal...Buy them out? well thats an option but the state and feds offer pennies on the dollar for the land....Ask yourself this would you sell your home for pennies on the dollar?
Its like plumb creek timber which is a burlington northern railroad or government gave them every square mile checkerboard across the US guess what they do now? rape the land as bad as Wey.Co. does not only that but both companies doent even need to get a permit before the start the state has gave them the power to assess the land and do it on there own..
either way our children will suffer from what we do today but its the big picture you all theres not just one thing to blame....
