PORT ANGELES — Management practices of Olympic National Forest need to be updated, professional forester Glenn Wiggins told a business audience on Monday.
“The impacts of their restrictions are clear and undeniable, severe and unjustified,” Wiggins —former mayor of Port Angeles and veteran consulting forester — told the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce audience of about 75 meeting at the Port Angeles CrabHouse Restaurant.
Talking primarily of portions of Olympic National Forest which lie between Port Angeles and Forks, he used photos and observations to discuss his critiques of the current management plan in a speech titled, “The Wrong Road.”
“You won’t turn around until you realize you are on the wrong road,” he said.
“I did have a different title — I was going to call it ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ — but then they told me that title was already taken.
“But this is the truth, and it is rather inconvenient.”
