Sad to think of all the trees that were cut in recent years in the white and cache river refuges. I’ve seen a lot of it myself and its devastating. Miles and miles of “it’ll be better for the future” heavy duty logging.

Mother nature took her precious time developing that area over centuries but is no match for haphazard logging contracts developed with a pen stroke smile and a handshake.

All we have are memories of a beautiful expanse of flooded hardwoods and sweet dreams filled with skidder ruts and stumps.
