A History of The Annihiliation of West Virginia's Forests
A brief account of the destruction of this part of the Allegheny ecosystem here.
I'm not a luddite or a neo-primitivist. I like having a (um, reasonably) warm and dry house. But sometimes you've got to wonder: do we really absolutely have to f*cking destroy every last bit of nature? I cut folks from the past a lot of slack, understanding that life was harder and so forth. But jebus, there's a limit.
Some of these pictures will just break your heart, including these [link fixed] shitheads, apparently proud to have cut down a 1,000-year-old white oak as big as a sequoia. Nice work, guys. Nice work.
