The city was defined by timber and lumber and you could make a memorial to the forest-based industry -- the workers, the entrepreneurs and the innovators who helped build the city.

Canada's subsidized imports of softwood lumber harm the U.S. lumber industry.

If you manage to stop the timber industry from cutting this forest, they'll cut that forest. If you stop oil drilling here, they'll go drill there.

We cannot have divisiveness at the center of our memorial.

Denver is a city that will be far more defined by its future than its past.

The timber sale is a part of Custer State Park's ongoing forest management program, ... Much of the emphasis on the forest management in the Needles area of the park is focused on overall forest health. The timber sale is aimed at reducing forest density, which is very high in this area of the park. Currently, mountain pine beetle is active in the area and reduced forest stand density will help prevent epidemic levels of mountain pine beetle. Lower stand densities will also protect against catastrophic damage from wildfire.
