[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5324947, member: 20151"] I can agree if it is a properly managed enterprise! I am currently reviewing a property that has been / is being clear cut in Stewart county hundreds of acres in great swaths left devoid of topsoil and a highly erodible substrate exposed and unmanaged! The bottoms are equally devastated by the resulting erosion layering / silting in over existing soils and habitat. I am referring to over 1000 acres as a desert devoid of life or the ability to generate life for years. About 100 acres that is an open gravel deposit on a ridge that has no soil and could only be restored by hauling in thousands of tons of soil, compost, matter to decay and years of planting and erosion control. This place hurts my sole. It reminds me of the worst of the coal strip mines I have seen. Yes clear cuts can be a great thing for all species. But we must be mindful of the soil and slopes. We must be mindful with a plan for after the cut and return to review for areas of need. [/QUOTE]
