    Tears of sorrow for the clear cut scars and tears of joy for the small victories.
    Thanks for the film.

    When I lived in the Puget Sound area, I spent so much time hiking around the Elwha and was so excited to see the dams finally come down. It is disgusting and enraging that the DNR is still trying to sell off legacy forests, especially around the Elwha after finally winning the battle to get the dams removed. Good work, but I don't doubt that you'll face many more tough battles to save these forests in the years ahead.

    The connection between the earth and man must be preserved more, lots more! I will see what I can do to help and help protect against the greed of the loggers.

    Powerful film. The pursuit of money is killing the Earth. We have to live at one with Mother Earth not kill her as said in the film "Death by a thousand cuts"

    Big leaf maples, Acer macrophyllum , such a place, save and let the forest growing old, as the ecosystem adapts naturally back to its roots!

    As long as they don't export the timber. Our natural resources should be used in our own country.

    Sad. They log our rivers in Oregon and it’s not ethical. Save the salmon and steelhead and restore quickly. In 10 years you’ll be able to get some piece back

    It is ease for urban people to condemn logging when they have nice office jobs or have their head in the tax trough with government "work." If these people are really concerned about water quality for the river and Port Angeles residents they should hammer away at DNR to close the illegal gun range on Little River that has dumped tons of lead into the valley year after year. The forests grow back, the lead shot all across Little River valley can never be recovered.

    Only CASH matters. Companies are citizens they are the only citizens that matter. DNR members on the take, taking the lead of the bought off supreme court. Above the laws.

    Selective cut not clear cut also stop selling raw logs out of the area keep local Timber companies in business let them sell processed wood

    Should be building out of stone and concrete, or hemp bales or whatever. Enough of using wood already. With the climate changing, trees are more valuable standing in a forest. I’m just so sick of people who are more concerned with destroying for profit rather than protecting what we have left.
