ppine, why is there a difference in forest management practices between west and east? That is an interesting fact!
Totally different forests, different weather, different terrain. different trees.
West side coastal west slopes of the Cascades, 10 months of the year you couldn't set a fire with napalm. clear cutting is the norm in the tree farms, and the predominate tree is the hybrid cedar and Fir trees
East side dry from late April, thru November rolling terrain, big beetle infestation. trees - hemlock, spruce
