Is consumer demand for "clear" wood destroying our forests?  Can second growth be used for interior/finishing product?  Is it just a question of adjusting consumer preference?

There's been a lot written about potential impact of the drought on fish and farms, and I've read that the Klamath Agreement will help farmers plan for drought years and still benefit fish. I hope that's true.

I'm concerned about the impact the drought might have on the birds that use the Klamath Basin as a stop on the Pacific Flyway.  Will the agreements do anything to support birds during drought?
