Thank you Randy for a clear explanation  on compliance and takers.
That helps to explain the need  RFP saw for an Inhaus Counsel, I guess.
As far as compliance, I'd say a good example of compliance by the timber industry is its adaptation to the Oregon Forest Practice Act of 1971, particularly regarding the new reforestation regulations. Certainly, up to that point reforestation had often been haphazard at best, often relying on scattered seed trees.
With the OFPA there began a massive wave of tree planting across the state, even resulting in the iconic Hoedads planters' co-op.  The eventual result, our hills are now covered with  massive even-age tree farms now  reaching  economic maturity at 40-some years, and we see more and more log trucks carrying these small but useful logs.  Thanks to compliance with those regulations our mills and loggers  have a greater future.
As far as "takers" I guess we can go  back to "Looters of the Public Domain."
