May 11 Unique Forest to be preserved by Tom Whittier, Pickens,WVa.
On the high ridges of Kumbrabow are beautiful mixed stands of mature red spruce and cherry, beautiful peaceful places for hiking, bird watching or cross country skiing. The State is bringing timber cutting ever closer to these stands. Please let the State foresters know that these stands should not be cut but rather preserved so mature forests will not be only a memory. Do not be mislead by rationals that to preserve you must cut so that young replacement trees can grow.
