Damn

As many trees as Plum Creek and other timber companies cut, why would some idiot want to burn timberland? It's simply beyond my comprehension. I've seen a lot of things hard to comprehend in my 31 years in the newspaper business, but this is one of the hardest.
This only means timber companies will now have to cut more trees to make up for the loss. I don't know, but I would guess this scorched land will take even longer now to grow replacements.
Also, the dry winter has allowed loggers to stay in the woods, cutting even more trees.
The shit only gets smellier.
