CHARACTERISTIC LOGGED-OFF LAND IN THE DOUGLAS FIR REGION 
About 200,000 acres of such land as this is logged off each year. In the upper picture the 
slash has not yet been fired eight. months after a ruthless clear-cutting, and the unfelled 
snags make control of fire here especially difficult. In the lower view a spring burn has 
followed clear-cutting. The timber on the ridge may seed a strip of ground near by if it 
is not cut immediately, but the reforestation of the rest is dubious unless seed stored in 
the ground survived the slash fire
