A Perpetucll Foresl ot Ocrkridge

The idea of a forest that can be logged in patches, ar a stable level, forever, would have sounded suange to the lumberman of a generation ago.

But at Oakridge, Pope & Talbot and the Forest Service have begun development of such a forest. Here, logging has been balanced against the annual rate of growth so that the same volume of mature timber may be harvested year aftet year, century after century.

This concept of a lasting forest is an important advance in the field of conservation. It also carries significant advantages of fire prevention, prorecrion of wild life, and improved recreational facilities.

For our customefs, a pefmanent forest means a permanent mill-and a permanenr source of quality timber.
