An eloquent account of Appalachia's past and future. Since
European settlement, Appalachia's natural history has been
profoundly impacted by the people who have lived, worked, and
traveled there. Bolgiano's journey explores the influx of
settlers, Native American displacement, lumber and coal
exploitation, the birth of forestry, and conservation issues. 37

quality land management under the sustainable multiple-use management concept to meet the

In July of 1998 The Fisher Family, owners of The GAP, Inc.,
purchased ALL of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation's timber lands in Mendocino County, some
220,000 acres. These include the absolute LAST of the ancient redwood trees not in State
Parks. They are logging these trees using methods which include clearcutting, herbicides
and overcutting timber lands of rare fisheries and extreme steep slopes creating
unmanageable mudslides and deadly siltation in salmon streams.
Although "legal" these Timber Harvest Plans are completely unacceptable and MUST
BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY! On this site you can find out how you can help, what currently is
being done, and more information on the specifics that make The Gap Suck.
