W.V. "Mac" McConnell writes from Florida. He is a U.S. Forest Service retiree whose Power Point presentations have appeared on our website many times. His latest efforts are nearby: an updated version of his earlier "Timber Resource Management" Power Point and a fascinating photograph, "One Landscape: Four Views," that shows what is happening on adjacent public and private forests at Deep Creek, near Townsend, Montana.

Woods Wisdom
A drift boat slips quietly down the North Fork of the Flathead River in Northwest Montana. The North Fork travels through some of Montana's most spectacular scenery, including the western perimeter of Glacier National Park. The fishing is good, though not nearly as good as the Flathead's South Fork, which travels out of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Still, the North Fork is well worth a day-long float. Be sure to bring your camera.
