Sterile Forest by Edward Fritz Eakin Press 1983 *Inscribed and signed by author*
Title: Sterile Forest
Author: Edward Fritz
Format: Softcover
Publisher: Eakin Press 1983
Edition: First Edition
ISBN: 9780890153925
Size: 5 x 8 * 271 pages
Synopsis: While this narrative relates actions which occurred mainly in East Texas in 1976, the implications are nationwide and ongoing.
The shift to sterile forests is taking place, with slight variations in all national forests and most private forests in the United States.
The current major onslaught in our forests is worse than when the timber barons logged most of America, because they at least left the lands to reforest themselves in their original diversity. The modern clearcutters, by burning, poisoning, and other methods, are preventing the original forest composition from returning. They just want commercial species, like Loblolly pine.
In the war between exploiters and defenders of our natural resources, most of the disasters occur gradually, over a period of years. Most are like the decades-long battle to save the bald eagle rather than the three-month campaign to defeat the constitutional amendment on the Clements-Clayton Texas Water Plan.
The effort to save our national forests from wholesale clearcutting is one of the oldest, longest struggles of all. It is about to escalate. National and local citizen groups are laying the groundwork for a nation-wide crusade to reform the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) in several ways, including a strengthening of control over clearcutting.
The first big battle to stop indiscriminate clearcutting took place late in the 19th century, resulting in outlawing the practice in the national forests. In 1964, the Forest Service resumed the practice, leading to the events narrated in this book.
