RGS Letter Urges Active Management On May 8, the Ruffed Grouse Society and 30 other endorsing organizations sent a very well-argued letter to President Bush pointing out the benefits that an active timber program provides to non-commodity values in the National Forest system. Opening with the note that "Too often, commercial forest management practices are portrayed as solely a means to harvest wood fiber," the letter makes a clear case for the timber program's importance in habitat maintenance, including that of some key Endangered non-game species. In general, it argues the much-neglected claim of the early successional forest to a place in the total consideration of our country's ecology. To review the two-page letter, please click here.
