Regarding the discussion about logging the Tillamook Forest... why not require that all logging in the Tillamook Forest be FSC certified. that would accomplish several things. (1) would help with the concern re. clearcutting and over logging (2) would provide timber products that would dovetail into the grants from the stimulus $s which lean toward LEED certified projects (3) would open more mills to FSC processing (the mills in general have been slow to respond to FSC logs).
