So what do you think about Oregon's Forest Practices Act?  It mandates
certain size buffers along fish bearing streams.  Those buffers have
been proven to help the survival of fish in those streams.  Until
the OFPA required this type of forestry practice very few timber
companies used it.  Yet now they all sing the praises of buffers
zones along fish bearing streams on public relations TV ads.  I
could name a few other forestry practices outlined by the OFPA
that many timber companies did not comply with until they were
forced to by "tighter governmental controls".

Bad timber practices on private lands have the potential to affect
us all and as such the public has every right to require a certain
set of baseline rules to protect our common resources.

Your friendly voting space-alien camper,
