		the Northwest was coveted not only by the British colonists in Canada, but also by those in the American seaboard colonies, who organized the Ohio Company in 1747 for the purpose of extending the Virginia settlements westward.
		The Old Northwest became U.S. territory in 1783 by the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolution and soon was one of the most pressing problems before the U.S. Congress.
		The four so-called landed states—Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut—claimed portions of the Old Northwest, while states with no western land claims, especially Maryland, argued that if the claims of the landed states were recognized, the wealth and population of the other states would be attracted to the western lands.

	Midwestern United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The heart of the Midwest is bounded by the Great Lakes and the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys, the "Old Northwest" (or the "West"), referring to the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, which comprised the original Northwest Territory.
		The Northwest Territory was created out of the ceded English (formerly French and Native American) frontier lands by the Continental Congress just before the U.S. Constitution was ratified under the Northwest Ordinance.
		Because the Northwest Ordinance region, comprising the heart of the Midwest, was the first large region of the United States which prohibited slavery (the Northeastern United States emancipated slaves in the 1830s), the region remains culturally apart from the country and proud of its free pioneer heritage.

	Old-Growth Forest Information
		In the Pacific Northwest, the most common type of old-growth ecosystem is a forest dominated by Douglas-firs and western hemlocks, generally 350 to 750 years old.
		The youngest old-growth forests are 200 years old, and the oldest are about 1,000 years old.
		Among all the forests of the world, the Pacific Northwest old-growth forest is unique because of the size and old age of its trees, the accumulations of biomass (weight and density of living organisms), and the climate, with its wet, mild winters and dry, warm summers.

	Northwest Forest Plan Citizens’ Alternative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan was supposed to be a balanced plan that ended the old-growth controversy, but the plan leaves a million acres of old-growth forest unprotected, and the public continues to fight each attempt to cut these ancient giants that were here long before us.
		The Northwest Forest Plan, which governs management of 19 National Forests and 7 BLM districts mostly west of the Cascades, was presented as a balance of ecological and economic needs, but the Northwest Forest Plan is a dangerous scheme that leaves much of our old-growth unprotected.
		Logging in sensitive areas and mid-seral stands (50-80 years old) must be deferred until public trust is rebuilt and until there’s credible evidence that the ecological benefits and costs of mechanical thinning clearly outweigh the ecological benefits and costs of natural thinning (i.e., custodial management).

		Due to the cumulative effects of past logging, the scientists that wrote the Northwest Forest Plan predicted that continued logging in the "matrix"--the area between the reserves --would lead to continued decline for many species, especially those that are rare, uncommon, and/or less mobile.
		In his ruling, Judge Dwyer said the Northwest Forest Plan's survey requirements are "clear, plain, and unmistakable." He continued, "Far from being minor or technical violations, widespread exemptions from the survey requirements would undermine the management strategy on which the ROD depends.
		Since the Northwest Forest Plan was approved in 1994, there is a clear pattern that those mills that invested in their own private timber lands and retooled their mills to handle small diameter logs have fared generally well.
