Clearcutting gardening on a vast scale
To the Editor
There has been a lot of coni rover
sy ahoul clcarcuts I r i s lake a
closer look al ihe clcurcutting
practices
Everyone has an opinion, and to
many, lhal opinion is *'Yuk. that's
ugly?'*. Thai opinion has merit, as
a newly clearcul area looks torn
down, ripped up and usually burned
A clearcul may he thought ot as
an example of flower gardening on
a vast scale, both in area ami years
All the trees are cut to produce
lumber, to remove diseased and
light-stunted trees, and to allow
replanting of irccs ami grass lor
future use on a managed basis
One must remember thai a forest,
unlike a (lower garden, cannot he
weeded, mulched or transplanted
with small hand tools the tools re
quired for a future forest are large

and noisy and often misunderstood
A forest requires many years to he
organized into a system usable by
man and beast It we think of the
forest as being a short term project,
there will h no hope ol utilizing its
long term resources
Finally, we have all seen areas «»I
lores! that arc thickly grown into fine
young stands lhal are ideal game
hideouts, bird nesting areas, and
thick ground cover These arc
yesteryears clcarcuts, where
yesteryears critics said ’’Yuk, that's
ugly " Clearcuttmg is a tool that will
enable all ot us to continue to utilize
and cn|oy our natural resources.

about it Contact your local Forest

they have to do is sign up No prool

premium to pay Informational
booklets and meetings are being pro
vided during April Retirees must
sign up hy May I Medicare A and
H recipients have a choice of a tradi

In the last couple of weeks we visited
the Oregon ( iu s t and l raven worth,
Washington One. j natural tourist at
traetkin and the other a man made one
The point is that when we speak of
"Tikirism" as an industry. wc should
know that it is as diverse as any other
Manufacturing steel is very different
from m anufacturing computer
microchips
Yet there arc many industry wide
similarities
When the service is leisure time activity, the demand for that service
tends lo he seasonal Tourists tend to t»»ur when the weather is warm, the
kids arc out of school and tradition permits Even in Leavenworth, the
business is seasonal That nukes ii*urism sort of like farming, dependent
on a seasonal labor supply Fanners call them migrant workers
Another similarity running through the tourist industry is the need tor
an “ attraction " Some natural wonder to behold, an event (Pendleton
Round Up) or a nun nude amusement It seems that it you don t have
a trulv unique natural attraction, it’s necessary to build one And the sue
cess of the project is directly proportional to the cost
Finally I feel compelled to comment on the customer Tourists are the
worst part ot the t«»urtsm industry Even 1 take on a new character when
on t«*ur Mv usual amiable. genen*us, charming disposition takes on a nud
hatter aura. I become demanding, cheap and obstinate.always in a hurry .
and try ing to squeeze the most miles out of the least money
I’m n«*t alone Visit with the waitresses in Boardnun about the deer
elk and bird hunters Watih the exodus from Pendleton during Round
Up Check the turn over in staff at Yellowstone National Park The ice
cream nun in Ixavenworth m>twithstanding
