That's quite interesting b/c it goes totally against the traditional near-preservation aspect of the refuge system to eradicate hardwoods for a pine monoculture.

I think refuges should be managed with conservation and preservation in mind, not one specifically over the other. But wholesale clearcutting seems a bit much for the NWR system.

Thanks.
