27/1/2002 -- Ah, wilderness |
 | | Wilderness areas are simply the best places to enjoy hiking, hunting, fishing, bird-watching, camping, cross-country skiing, and canoeing. |
 | | In a wilderness, trees can grow to ''old growth'' maturity, and other plant and animal species, including endangered ones, are best able to survive. |
 | | But wilderness advocates point out that, with ample private timberland available in the state, the Green Mountain National Forest has not been a major source of wood in Vermont - just 1 percent of the state's timber comes from the national forest. |
