	How to Outwit Clearcut Grouse
		The Golden Age of grouse hunting is pictured in myriad examples of sporting art where, against the backdrop of a sea of golden aspen leaves, a brace of fine setters locks on point beneath a long-neglected apple tree.
		Clearcutting was actually going on long before the Industrial Revolution, and older sportsmen who grew up hunting in and around the cuts already know many of the hows and whys of hunting those suddenly-altered landscapes.
		Another beneficial aspect of clearcutting is that the two species that most often invade newly cut areas, birch and aspen, are favorites of the grouse.

	The Clearcutting Controversy -- Myths and Facts
		Non-road areas of clearcuts are comprised of the root mass and humus of a forest soil.
		So long as a clearcut is done in conjunction with proper forestry practices and soil and water conservation practices, then that clearcut has been done with stewardship and sustainability in mind.
		If a clearcut is recommended on your land, it may be carried out in combination with streamside buffer zones, visual buffers near roads and homes, wildlife runways, wildlife seeding mixtures, etc. A properly done clearcut will have "fingers" of partial cuts jutting into it where streamsides and other buffer zones are drawn.

		Clearcuts as small as 1/2 acre will allow enough sun light to reach the forest floor for some regeneration, but may not be practical.
		Clearcutting or cleancutting is the removal or felling of practically all live trees or shrubs usually six inches in diameter or greater.
		Clearcutting does alter wildlife habitat by temporarily increasing the variety and seasonal availability of seed and insect foods available to a greater diversity of organisms than a mature stand.

		In clearcutting for lumber production, where the logging is done in a mixed-age forest, all the large trees are taken and the saplings and smaller trees may be left for regeneration.
		In the case of a clearcut, especially for pulpwood or chipwood, all woody matter is removed, depleting the ambient stock of organic matter, and the ground is both severely broken, resulting in serious erosion, or compacted, retarding the recovery of any plant life in those places.
		Another critical problem with clearcutting, especially in the eastern North American hardwood forests, is the problem of colonization of the forest area by invasive exotics.

	Lies, Dirty Lies, and Disturbing Photographs
		Clearcuts, which are based on this model, are constantly referred to in Closer Look as "not pretty" or "ugly." Clearcuts are ugly, not because they are disorderly, as the reviewers think, but because the structure (and therefore the function) of the forest has been destroyed to remove the boles of trees.
		Clearcutting is the large-scale removal of a significant part of the biomass, destroying the structure of the forest.
		Wildfires, which are presented as "nature's clearcuts" in the discussion of Houghton Creek, are haphazard and partial rarely burning more than 10 percent of a forest, unlike a clearcut, which is a complete with removal of stems on a short cycle.

	ForestLearn: Clearcutting
		Since a clearcut receives more sunlight, there are improved growing conditions for other sun-loving shrubs, herbs, and grasses— food for edge specific animals like deer and elk.
		Finally, a clearcut changes the structure of an old forest for many years-- the general public prefers to see and visit older forests, and some plants and animals depend on older forests as habitat.
		Some folks have begun to use smaller clearcuts of 30 to 40 acres in size, because smaller clearcuts increase road access for fire control, and are seen as less offensive than large ones.

	2003 Study to assess the efficacy of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as ecological indicators in two ...
		Clearcut blocks generally had greater numbers of carabid species than the other blocks, and higher diversity, but reduced overall carabid abundance (at least at Tsitika).
		Page 6 of 6 In general, the clearcut blocks at both sites, but particularly at Stillwater, were typified by containing invasive and winged species such as Notiophilus sylvaticus, Amara spp., Bembidion spp., Harpalus spp., Loricera decempunctata and Synuchus impunctatus and very few of the forest species.
		The carabid beetles as a group were highly sensitive to harvesting methods, and the results of this study indicated clearly that carabid beetles would be an ideal focal species to be used in forest biodiversity and adaptive management studies of this nature.

	Clearcut near study area (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Clearcuts make it easy to put up bark beetle traps and especially my rotating traps since there are no trees, also moose love to eat the young trees.
		Some degree of perturbation or habitat disruption (such as a "checkerboard" of clearcuts and forest) does increase biodiversity so it should be good to have small clearcuts surrounded by forests of several ages, but not really large clearcuts of several hectares or acres.
		The forest companies would prefer quite large clearcuts since it is cheaper to cut a large area with equipment at one time.

	Libeu Clearcut Rule (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The effect of that is that a clearcut unit may be butted up against another as soon as the trees in the first unit are five feet tall OR five years old.
		And the effect of THAT (including other provisions of that rule re separation etc.,) is that hill slopes above rivers and creeks may be peppered with blocks, with trees anywhere from zero to five years old.
		So I am proposing a rule that would substitute 25 years for 5 years of age for the trees in the clearcut blocks, and 25 feet for 5 feet tall, before a unit within 300 feet in any direction may be harvested using the clearcut or other even-aged regeneration method.

	The Life of A Clearcut \| The Dominion
		There have been thousands of documentary-style photographs depicting clearcuts and the devastation they cause, and this familiar mode of depiction was Haney's original intention.
		Many of the leaves of the living trees had yellowed and fallen off, the ferns were brown and dying, and there was ice on the water that filled the skidder tracks.
		These images of a clearcut landscape go beyond the already familiar political images of outrage that have no relation to its opposite: the equally ubiquitous and romanticized painterly landscapes of rebirth and salvation.

		In articulating this crucial proviso, (Scottish philosopher whose sceptical philosophy restricted human knowledge to that which can be perceived by the senses (1711-1776)) Hume writes, "this hypothetical liberty is universally allowed to belong to every one who is not a prisoner and in chains".
		Compatibilists often point to clearcut cases of someone's free will being denied — rape, murder, theft, and so on.
		The key to these cases is not that the past is determining the future, but that the aggressor is overriding the victim's desires and preferences about his or her own actions.

		I just finished reading Virtual Clearcut by Brian Fawcett, who grew up in Prince George, BC but left as a young man in the early seventies to embark upon a "thoughtful life" in Vancouver and Toronto.
		That in itself is interesting; Fawcett feels that the rough and tumble, freewheeling and predominately working-class character of the North did not provide the requisite environment to be the philosopher he wanted to be.
		Virtual Clearcut, written over a dozen years, was originally intended to be an indictment of Northern BC's rapacious logging practices as well as an exposé on the evils of globalization.
