TIMBER HARVESTING - STATE LAND
Poor management of timber is a waste of
one of our most valuable renewable natural resources. We urge the Department of
Natural Resources to harvest the timber on all state-owned lands in a timely
manner and on a sustained yield basis.’07
We strongly urge forestry management plans and soil
conservation plans on all state properties. All timber sales should be put out
for competitive bid.
We oppose any further restrictions on farmers who harvest
their own woodland.
