About this listen
This episode with Sara Duncan, Director of Communications for the Oregon Forest Industries Council, takes on the top six myths about the timber industry, including:
1. Tree farms are not forests, and the timber industry only plants a monoculture of Douglas-fir.
2. Clearcuts are unnecessary, you could just thin forests instead.
3. Logging is the number one source of carbon emissions in Oregon and older trees sequester more carbon than young trees.
4. The timber industry cuts down trees for toilet paper.
5. All timber companies in Oregon are owned by out-of-state, wall street investors like TIMOs and REITs.
6. The listing of the spotted own didn't cause as many job losses as the industry said, it was actually automation.
