Keep up the great work Dr. Covington. A good sawmill in Northern Arizona would be the 1st step in your quest for a thinned, healthy forest. There has to be a facility that can process the thinned trees and add value to the tree, by producing a marketable product that can be sold for a profit. We have seen little progress from the second contractor who received the thinning contract. As you know the 1st contractor never accomplished any thinning, nor develop a facility for the thinned trees. Stay on the Forest Service Wally, you have their ear! WE NEED A SAWMILL.
All the best,
