Abstract
Demands for conservation measures on federal forest land in the United States Pacific Northwest (PNW) region were sparked by concern about the risk of extinction of the northern spotted owl and other species that inhabit the old-growthforests of the PNW. To meet these demands, federal agencies reduced timber sales by 80% in those forests between 1990 and 1994. This has had ramifications for the regional economy, the wood products industry, and timber production in the PNW and elsewhere. In this paper, we describe the events of the 1990s and discuss the economic issues associated with those events.
