I don't think the R-G reporters and editor recognize the difference, which is pretty unbelievable, given where we live. 

If you ask me, however, what the Cafferatas are doing sounds much more like restoration and rewilding than commercial "forest management."

They seem pretty concerned with biodiversity, for instance. They preserve hardwoods because wildlife like them; they are planting willows for bird habitat, and also replanting the species that were here before white settlers: grand fir, Port Orford cedar, incense cedar, western red cedar, western hemlock and coast redwood.

I wonder what portion of the seedlings planted were Doug firs. With the little I understand about this topic, that would seem to be the most pertinent question. In the old growth, Doug firs were "band aid" trees, right? They healed the land enough for the other species--the cedars, hemlocks, redwoods, etc--to get a start.
