Greetings! I was wondering if any of my fellow bloggers could tell if these pictures offer an example of clear cutting? I must admit the pictures are not from WV, but from Ohio. I was driving north on Route 7 in Gallia County when I came upon this site. Lushes and green and then boom, nothing. It looks like the area which goes way back over the hill has been carpet bombed. Is this a common practice? I suppose if you wanted a biologic which needed massive amounts of sunlight to grow in abundance this might be viable. I just don't know. If you have any ideas, post back. I will try to get some more photos today.
Hopefully, on our summer trip we can see examples of responsible forest management as well as instances where the environment has not been given as much care.
