What part of the White Mountain National Forest is whole tree harvesting allowed on? According to the recent (2006) Forest Plan, it looks like tops and branches must be left in th ewoods. This on top of a greatly diminished timber program (now called "vegatation management -- that will tell you how much wood you can expect).
KEY EXCERPTS (AND FLAWED ASSUMPTIONS) FROM THE CP BIOMASS FUEL AVAILABILITY STUDY:
1) "In the 30 miles surrounding Berlin, NH, roughly 36 percent of the timberland is publicly owned, including 28 percent that is part of the White Mountain National Forest. For purposes of this analysis, INRS has assumed that no volume of biomass fuel will come from public lands. This is conservative, and it is possible that a biomass plant in Berlin, NH would receive fuel from proximate public land."
In other words, the study excluded a huge 36% of the available timberlands surrounding Berlin as a source of biomass fuel... A deeply flawed assumption...
