The euphemism "forest management" doesn't quite do justice to this, does it? The Feds apparently paid ready cash to get land owners to plant trees for eventual harvest, and now these trees are being ripped out, after 5 or 6 years, to reestablish the blueberry barrens. I guess we did similar things in the public works projects of the '30's in NB, but at least we've got lots of airfields and wharfs to show for it. ;-)
