Image Title:  Block Logging Pattern.
Image Caption:  This industrial Tree Farm owned by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., is managed to produce regular crops of wood perpetually. The open spots on the mountain sides have been harvested recently. These areas will reseed naturally from seeds dropped by trees in surrounding blocks. When the new crop of trees is well started, other section of older trees will be harvested. It's a process that will go on forever.
