on Forest Values

This discussion seems to be forest products vs recreation..what if the value of the forest is in its wildlife? how do we value that?? Cut out the wildlife and you loose this bodies heart!

Great show! Thank you for a program that has made me think a lot further about these issues than I ever have! I have always felt that our traditions are inadequate.

I don't believe I need to walk in the forest to appreciate its most precious asset, which is as an ecosystem and home to innumerable species. Or as lungs to our planet.

Imagine being  host in a body where the lungs of the body could be consumed for sustenance, perhaps because of ease? Would you consume this organ, and let the body die? I believe this is an apt analogy.

There are ways to create  renewable forests, and a big difference between these old forests which have taken centuries to develop and the renewable ones which takes just decades.

I think talking  to Tom Spanbauer would make an amazing show. He is a writer who lives in Portland; "The man who fell in love with the moon", "In The City of Shy Hunters", "Now Is the Hour"...  He teaches and mentors other Portland writers, and is an amazing writer and person! I first met Tom when I took a workshop from Chuck Palahniuk and in one session Tom turned me on my head! I have not been the same since!
