Commenting on Roadless Areas in Nicolet Forest

I guess most everyone missed the meeting last night, but the comment period is still open. I would like to know more about fire suppression arguments. Do we need to cut forests to prevent fires?

I think that areas of the northern forests should be lightly managed to become "old growth" forests over the next 100-200 years. We would be waving to future generations, "see what we did for you?" Unfortunately, "management" always seems so aggressive. There should be some large stands of white pine allowed to flourish as they did before the "big cut". The tourism potential over time would be huge.
