I think I was making a generalized statement and not attacking any
particular post here so don't take it personally. Nature isn't
chaos...it is nature. Natural. Forest fires do things management
cannot...many tree diseases have been controlled through naturally
occuring forest fires. They provide a entirely different humus and
base for items to grow that cannot be found otherwise. It provides
ideal heating and condtions to allow for various seedlings and spores
to begin growth. This cannot me done with management entirely. There
are things that occur in nature that we cannot no matter how hard we
try scientifically, we cannot make them occur to the large extent
needed for forests to actually survive. I have been to many a
management farm, lake, etc..I see the good work they provide. I simply
don't think they can do it all and they sure aren't properly funded to
do what they fully need to try and do.

Man has always used wood products and always will. But it was a matter
of using what you need and not to excess. It is simply how efficient
they use them. If we would do it by industry standards...hell they
would clear cut from shore to shore without using any sense of ethics
or rationale. I understand the concept of management and very much am
interested in the science of expanding the possibilities of restoring
what little order and allowing some control for environmental
concerns. I am simply stating that trees and nature were here far
before we were and we can't expect to even for a moment believe that
we will instill some order to nature. We don't control it. We live
with it. there is a difference that a ton in the industry don't
realize.

like I said. It is a catch-22. You're damned if you do and damned if
you don't. No one is winning this game. I just look at past examples
like Chernobyl area...man devistated it and although it is highly
damaged from the incident...if you look at reports now...nature has
gradually reclaimed the land, the buildings, the area...animals
return...etc.
