S-P-I Shifts To Clearcutting

Sponsored by:

The state´s largest timber company is shifting its logging practices from selective thinning of forestland to clearcutting. Sierra Pacific Industries says the shift will cut down on fire danger, since new techniques make clearcutting more efficient and safer. Environmentalists and some neighbors charge that clearcuts are not good fire management tools.
