Summary

An attributed September 2010 letter called for monitoring wildlife, vegetation, and habitat use at the Camp 3 Trail clear-cut before more cutting was approved. It also proposed rotational strip cutting as a possible alternative to large clear-cuts.

Evidence limits

This preserves one writer’s response in an ongoing forestry debate. It is not an independent wildlife survey, management plan, or agency decision.

    Eric Myers questions whether bird declines are caused by lack of aspen, argues for monitoring wildlife and vegetation at the Camp 3 Trail clear-cut, and proposes rotational strip cutting as an alternative to large clear-cuts; these are attributed arguments, not an independent survey.
