crop of trees are cut and gone, there is a time period in which the trees need to grow. Often, the new crops were not given substantial time to grow to full size, as a result timber would be weaker and not quite as good of quality as the old growth trees. Under the "old" management, it is very likely that Pacific Lumber would have kept the process of "selective cutting" and not changed to "clear cutting". Important figures, such as Stan Murphy, advocated for "selective cutting" for a number of reasons. With this process, regular profits were possible rather than one large sum. It was better in the long run because profit was still something that could be expected in the future which provided better stability for employees. Workers had the confidence that they would still have a job in the future. There was very little possibility of being laid off because there was insufficient amounts of work. With "selective cutting", trees were always in circulation."Sustained yield" had very similar effects to those of "selective cut". The processes are comparable. Both leave trees to grow in the area to keep the land fertile. The difference between them is that "sustained yield" works in a fashion that allows for more profit by timbering trees in respect to a percentage that should and will be cut down. It differs from "selective cut" in that this process doesnt choose, so much, on which trees are fit to timber. When Charles Hurwitz took over Pacific Lumber, ideas and practices changed dramatically. His ideas and views very closely compared to those of the early colonists who came to New England. He was interested in merchantable commodities while taking on capitalistic views on profit. He did not really care much about benefits for employees and was mainly interested in immediate profits. He didnt see timber or wildlife as a means for survival but rather as a commodity. This was different than the beliefs of the Native Americans because they used ...
