Forestry 101 Douglas Fir in typical
forest settings has a long tall "bole" or stem
The top part with the live limbs is the
"crown".
"In most situations, Douglas-fir
is typified by tall trees grown in
dense stands Severe light
reductions in the these stands
causes the live crowns to be
very sparse, occurring only
in the top 30 percent
of trees 180-to 200-feet tall.” (from
US Department of Agriculture Handbook No
559) Most of Oregon's coast range fir trees
have far less than 30 percent crown, some
only 10% crown
25%
Politics 101 The authors of Measure 64 in
their insidious definition of a clearcut,
require "the top one-third bole of the tree
supports a live crown", to be counted for a
legal clearcut.
Now why would the authors of 64 require a
tree to have more "live crown" than Mother
Nature gave it? Do they not understand
Forestry 101? Or are they trying to force the
"Zero-Cut" desire of certain well known
clubs and councils on our state?
Large clearcuts and some other practices
may need to be regulated better But the
definition of a clearcut in Measure 64 is so
broad that parts of Hendrick's Park in Eugene
could be classed as an illegal clearcut.
Fighting to preserve our limited ancient
forests is honorable But to tie-up the other
95 percent of the forest to do it? Is their goal
zero-cut? Yes, it is too extreme! Please
recycle when you can, but flush toilet paper
and Measure 64. Other states have
workable compromises, can Oregon? ^__ ,
Selective Cutting 101 This year
our family celebrates 50 years of family
forest ownership It started with the
purchase of clearcut land. Forest
restoration has been both work
and fun, resulting in uneven-aged
diverse trees and lots of wildlife
We have never clearcut,
never used sprays,
and hopefully will never
need to. We can say with
pride, we have been using only
individual tree selective harvesting
as touted by the proponets of 64.
They state in the voters pamphlet
on page 98, "we know selective logging
works", and with our 25 years of actual
experience, we could not agree more
But due to their broad definition of a
clearcut, and the small crowns, our work
of thinning to pay taxes and create late
successional (old growth) characteristics
will come to a halt. Why are those of
us who have already been using their
"preferred methods" being punished?
Hidden Agenda ? Sure looks to me like
zero-cut is their true intent!

Greenpeace's web pages discuss their

our methods. 64 is counterproductive to
these proven methods. Vote no on 64
