The funny thing about those non forested, non vegetated areas is that in some areas that can change back in just a few years.
Jack,
Speaking of forests, I learned a new term yesterday in the local paper. A timber sale is being protested by folks who like to sit in trees and play harps. This patch of forest is being called a "legacy" forest because it is a few big trees with lots of small trees.
It used to be "old growth" was the catch phrase.
The timber sale is also being protested because it is in a watershed. Every square inch of ground in this state is a watershed when it's raining.
