We are interested for the same reasons as yow. In addition, we want abundant timber in the future because timber is our livelihood—and common sense tells us we can’t log timber unless there is timber to log. That's why we are growing timber for the future just as surely as we are barvesting other timber today. Also, that is why we are protecting today’s crops and the future’s crops from fire and other hazards. To protect......to grow......to harvest. These are the three essentials of good forestry. And it is because we—and so many other companies— have adopted these principles that in the American forests the annual volume of new wood (created by growth) has been steadily INCREASING for about twenty years. ‘TODAY—EVEN IN WAR-TIME—THIS INCREASE IS CONTINUING!
