Boise To End Old-Growth Cut

Boise, Boise, Id., plans to phase out old growth harvesting during the next l8 to 24 months.

The company denies that its long publicized battle with the environmental group, the Rainforest Action Network, influenced the company's decision.

"(Environmentalists) can say what whatever they're going to say," said c.e.o. George Harad. "Our decision had much more to do with the direc- tion the Forest Service is going and the sales that would be offered."

Harad said that old-growth trees were only l%o of the company's 2001 timber harvest, and "not material to our operations."

Boise has also denied that it is buying and distributing old-growth products from Canada, Central and South America and Southeast Asia.

He added that Boise will fulfill all its current contracts.

84 Chief Tours New Stores

84 Lumber, celebrating its recent expansions, opened 20 new retail locations across the country April 8 while its president scrambled to visit them all.

Hardy Magerko, 84's president, had said she would try to visit as many of the new stores as possible on their grand opening day.

Magerko had planned to visit new stores in California, Nevada, and Colorado as she swung through the West, in addition to visits in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Alabama, Missouri and Marylandalthough she had agreed to split up some openings with her father and 84 co-founder Joe Hardy because of the great distances involved.

The expansion gives the retailer 434 stores in 34 states, with another 20 to 30 stores scheduled to open later this year.

Eighteen of the 20 stores opened this month were former Payless Cashways sites.

Salvage Proposed For Tahoe

The U.S. Forest Service has proposed a salvage logging operation in California's Lake Tahoe National Forest that is expected to be the biggest in the state since the 1980s.

The Forest Service's proposal is to log 140 million bd. ft. of timber burned during last year's Star fire.

The plans calls for removing 3,100 acres of dead trees next year from the most heavily burned areas. If nearby damaged trees died as expected, logging companies would then get access to another 4,000 acres.

Critics contend that the area is a roadless recreation area that should not be opened to timber companies. They also argue that felled trees will help aid a natural regeneration of the area.

The Forest Service sees the salvation plans as the key to preventing future blazes and also as the first step in their restoration plan.

"What we don't want to see is another devastating blaze that could cook the soil and make restoration more difficult," said the Forest Service's Karen Jones.

On March 14 the Forest Service met in Foresthill. Ca.. to discuss its restoration plan. Employees from several lumber companies, including Sierra Pacific Industries, Redding, Ca., were in attendance.
