> We all have our own definitions of everything. I am curious how your
definition of forestry precludes human entrance. Forests without humans is
not forestry, it is untouched land that is of no use.

 

"Use" to whom ?  "Untouched" does not

equal "no use" to me ....

 

As for my definition of "forestry", that

is what I am learning from what other

people think it is *to them* - I invited

Walter to "educate me" with his version,

too.  Thanks, Gene.

 

> Using forests for ambulatory

 

At the risk of being an ass (assume

makes an ass of u and me) I am

assuming that you mean two human

feet per person - and not a long

string of those, either. Certainly not

herds of cattle fenced in, fouling

streams and breaking down stream

banks, etc.

 

> activities creates minimal damage to the ecological systems. For those who cannot walk, driving on established forest roads hurts nothing.

 

*Established* when ? and how often

"extended to include *another* "scenic"

view "? Like a crystal wineglass, once

it's broken ....

 

(snip) It is regrettable that you chose to pick out something about which you could disagree, rather than comment on the vast amount of positive material presented.

 

Why, Gene, I had expected you to

"understand" what I "picked out"

to disagree about *was* all that I

disagreed with (on a first reading) -

that "recreation" thing just jumped

up and bit me - ouch !!
