Never heard of the metal road thing, but sure enough, it's on the web. Search it in google. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.225.179.62 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Merge

I merged in and redirected from forest service roads and logging roads. There is a good bit of overlap, that I did not address. Just moved them over whole. Jeepday (talk) 16:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] free timber

The suggestion that the logger get free timber is misleading. The value of timber as appraised usually assmumes that there is access to it. If building the access is expensive, it may consume most the the value of a particlar harvest tract, but that doesn't make it free to the contractor. the contractor ends up being a road builder who gets paid in trees instead of cash. Those aren't free trees. when done, the landowner has a road that is available for recreational use, firefighting, and access to nearby stands of timber for forest management activities.Rvannatta 04:46, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
