Please do not consider clear cutting as an improved forest
management practice. Clear cutting at least temporarily destroys
the part of the forest that is cut. The cut trees rot, releasing
their carbon dioxide. For a while there may be no roots to hold
water in the soil; this allows water to run off and erode the land.
The eroded soil may reach streams with adverse effects on our
drinking water and fish. Clear cut forests have no value for most
wildlife or human recreation. 

Thank you for the opportunity to comment,
