The editors here--like most of us--don't see the distinction between a tree farm and a forest, apparently. That's a real problem, given where we live.

In any case, the Cafferatas' work exceeds what the term "tree farm" denotes, which is ironic because the story concerns an award they won from the Oregon Tree Farm Association! Given their concern for wildlife and biodiversity, the Cafferatas seem much more concerned with restoring actual forests than they do with planting trees for harvest.

It would be great if "forest management" in general looked more like the Cafferata's work and less like the monoculture farming favored by Mr. Cafferata's former employer, Weyerhaeuser.
