The Producers - This log deck on the White Mountain Apache Reservation holds 80 truckloads of logs [enough to build almost 50 three-bedroom homes] salvaged from tribal forests in the aftermath of the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire. The tribe moved quickly to salvage what it could, but thanks to timber sale appeals and bureaucratic red tape, the Forest Service was unable to salvage several hundred million feet of publicly owned timber that were also lost in the fire.
