I wonder if this is the same Andy Egan that used to be at W.VA. U and was a practicing horse logger many years ago? I had heard that he left WVA. and it is good to know that he is at Paul Smiths.

Thanks for posting and sharing this.

On another note, has anyone else looked into the NH site that Rick Alger posted on earlier?

Hi,

Scott, I followed one of your links (forestconnect) that led me to an online article about “The Game of Logging” in Farming Magazine. Anyway, there was another article in the same magazine called “The Path to Good Forestry Is Riddled With Myths”. I thought I had a better understanding of forest growth etc but this article challenged some of my perceptions.

Would any of you all with forest management experience be willing comment on the article? – It surely could help those trying to better understand the dynamics of managing a timber stand. Thanks.

Here’s the link: http://www.farmingmagazine.com/article.php?id=38

I’ll repost in sustainable forestry.
