Notes Logging's Influence in The June 19 Boston Globe published a feature headlined Lynx Kittens Show There's Life in Clear-Cut Forest, reporting the presence of "two fluffy lynx kittens" on Maine land "picked clean" by loggers twenty years ago. "The cuddly four-week old kittens challenge the ideas that old forests are indispensable and that heavy logging creates wastelands. And the lynxes aren't alone: Pine martens, fishers, and a host of songbirds thought to be dependent on old trees are being found in areas that were logged in the late 1970s and 1980s." The article then quotes a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official suggesting that "a patchwork of old and young forest regions could be created across the millions of acres of privately held land in Maine, maximizing biodiversity but also allowing logging to continue."
