Enviros Victimize Everyone

While members of the American public don't yet realize it, "they will be the ultimate victims of the headlong preservationist drive to halt or severely restrict timber production on public and private lands throughout the United States." American Plywood Association president William T. Robison said.

Implementation of recent Proposals by a U.S. Forest ServiceBureau of Land Management interagency team for protection of the northern spotted owl ultimatelY would be "a cruel blow to plans for home ownership by young Americans from all walks of life," he added. "According to estimates by the Northwest Forestry Association implementation of these proposals would sacrifice at least 30,000 Pacific Northwest jobs and lock up enough wood to build nearly 300,000 homes annually."

It could also "potentially eliminate close to onemillion jobs nationallyabout 250,000 directly in the construction trades and aPproximately three times that number in occupations dependent on housing as the engine of the economy, such as real estate sales, home appliance manufacturing, furniture making, building material retailing and countless others in a nation that builds more than 90% of its homes with wood," Robison said.

Robison described the spotted owl recommendations of the federal interagency team as "absurd." He added: "An impartial examination of the issue will show that existing spotted owl populations are stable, and not dependent on old-growth timber for survival. In fact, these versatile birds thrive in many classes of forests, including those where trees are harvested and new trees planted to sustain the nation's wood fiber supply."
