My short reply for now is very closely linked to forestry money (the dangerous side of Politics). As "Deep Throat" said, follow the money....
There was that great journal from out west "......Forestry Review" in 1980s when turmoil and questioning and rebellion was brewing inside the US Forestry Service for reforms. The TFG had an excellent position paper on forests and old growth as an important national resource. Some participated in a big round table discussion w other forest resource users.
I was in Western Australia in 1988 and joined "The Greens" 300 mile march to Perth to petition the state govt to save the forests. Those wise and cool greenies, caring about the earth, and taking political action. Reminded me of TFG people. The struggle continues.
Let's talk about beauty, the spirits, eco systems vs tree farms, values other than monetary.
