Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington, U.S.A., 1989 Photograph by
James P. Blair Charred wood litters a partially cleared area in the
Gifford Pinchot National Forest along Washington state&#039s Cascade
Range. The fires are set deliberately to clear the land of debris after
logging and to facilitate new growth. Gifford Pinchot is home to Mount
St. Helens, and was ground zero of the battle between logging interests
and those seeking to protect the northern spotted owl.

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Old Growth
Forests," September 1990, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
