I can't link to it because it is behind a paywall for the Seattle Times. Apparently there is a tree sitter in our fair state's (don't move here) Capital Forest. Apparently he objects to a timber sale and built a platform in a tree in the unit and is up there. I have deduced all this from a blurb and comments on facebook. Northman can vouch for this.
One of the comments is that old growth is very rare as is second growth forest and second growth forest needs protection. Had I had coffee in my mouth at that point, it would have been on the keyboard. More of the usual Stop Logging comments followed.
The forest is out of my area of knowledge but I have friends who recreate in it. In fact, I think it is a working forest with a lot of trails for all users and would be second or third growth. Trees grow well in that part of the state. That's all I know about it.
Anybody heard Save The Second Growth before?
