Forest cutting plan effect says nil here
A U S Forest Service spokesman in Montgomery said Alabama forests, unlike the western timberlands, will see no policy changes this year despite a presidential panel recommendation to expand cutting. Bill Body noted southern forests are younger and managed differently, with no expected impact on Bankhead National Forest, while acknowledging possible changes if panel recommendations are adopted. The panel tied its guidance to Nixon's goal of adding one billion board feet this year and suggested curbing timber exports to Japan to depress prices. Notes Of Interest: Oak Park Middle School PTA meets at 7:30 p.m. today.
