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.

No clearcutting? Install Google Earth and take a look areound Mt. St.
Helens in Washington State.

Clearcutting is easy to see.

It makes it easy to put up an antenna, if you can find a tree still
standing.
