Dear HCN,
In Ed Marston’s review of
Char Miller’s book, Gifford Pinchot and the Foundation of
Modern Environmentalism (HCN, 3/18/02: Will the real
Gifford Pinchot please stand up), he states that “the Forest
Service, safe within the Department of Agriculture, went on to
slaughter the national forests after World War II.” How outlandish!
If so, why does HCN and others call for thinning
of national forests because of too many trees per
acre?
