Here I go again answering my own post. But I want to answer your question, Bob, about what is an unhealthy forest. Congress has documented millions of acres of national forests, where the "leave it alone" wilderness practice has resulted in overgrown, fire prone, forests with sick, decaying trees.

I carried the discussion you and I were having on the NEWSPAPER ARTICLE topic in General Discussion, Barry, to this post, after having done a short engine search. According to the article on the link I found, although phragmites is an invasive species, it is a good place for birds and a marsh...
