Don't see many clearcuts anymore now do you. You'll never get America back
to where it was 100 years ago, no matter how much forest you designate
as
wilderness. Logging Co's setup all the time for select cutting

There is still quite a bit in the Pacific Northwest - try the Olympic
Peninsula o rthe southeast side of Mt. St. Helens, where the State of
Washington and NFS proudly tout their forestry practice on signs in
front of areas of total, utter vegetative removal - although frankly,
there are relatively few areas left outside of parks and wilderness
areas that haven't been clearcut already...so naturally, the available
acres for this type of harvest are getting pretty small.
