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
If you've spent as much time in the woods as we have, it's easy to convince yourself you've seen just about every logger-inspired innovation there is, but this Minnesota logger surprised us with a rubber-tired circle saw he'd built for sawing pulpwood logs to the right length for his truck. It may not look like much, but it works very well in the flatter farm country where this young man was working when we took his picture in the summer of 1999.
