"After spectacular wildfires two years ago [2000] left behind hundreds of thousands of charred acres in the Bitterroot National Forest in western Montana, one might not think there's much value left behind. But, in fact, there is a lot of value in the blackened and burned trees--enough to go to court over, because two opposing sides see very different value in those trees." (FEDGAZETTE) This article addresses the adverse views of loggers who believe burned trees should be salvaged and environmentalists who feel burned trees should remain untouched.
