Dr. Jay O’Laughlin, Director, Policy Analysis Group, University of Idaho, and Philip S. Cook, PAG Research Associate constructed these charts from information available from various U.S. Forest Service Sources including Forest Resources of the United States, 1997, and subsequent updates. Dr. Con Schallau, a forest economist and member of the Evergreen Foundation Board of Directors, constructed the Page 27 “Forecasts for Growth, Harvest and Mortality” for five western national forests using USFS data.

"We must always consider the environment and people together, as though they are one, because the
