I am a conservationist and botanist. Like most documentaries, this falls victim to over dramatization and hyperbole. I am in and around clearcuts all the time, as well as national forests and wilderness areas and there is no shortage of natural areas and trees in Oregon, nor will there ever be thanks to our "outdated" laws. The notion that they are poisoning our water is beyond ridiculous. If that were your primary concern, you should be targeting all of the agriculture land in the valley, not the hills. Logging companies are using a small fraction of the pesticides used in Oregon agriculture as a whole.

You are full of crap! 98% of the old growth is GONE! YOu are sucking up to the man!

Seems like you are sure missing the difference between mature forests and plantations.
