To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
5 million acres is commercial forest land. Of this 1/3 of the Forest, 1. 6 million acres or 30% is designated wilderness, 1. 7 million acres or another 30% constitute the timber base for the 100 year rotation, and the remaining 22 million acres or 40% is restricted from timber harvest to protect the other multiple uses. In harvesting the 1. 7 million acres, extensive protection is provided to other multiple uses such as fish habitat zones and deer winter range. In the period 1978 through 1987, ...the timber industry harvested 76, 000 acres, or 7, 600 acres of National Forest per year. That's right, we harvested only 7, 600 acres per year of a 17 million acre National Forest. All harvest activity is regulated by the Forest Service in accordance with National Forest Management Act regulations. For example. Forest Service regulations and management practices that have been developed, protect fish and game. Since we do not harvest on major transportation lanes, timber harvesting has little impact on the great majority of tourists who travel up the inside passage each summer.
