I put some of this on the MBM blog, too.
The Buck Ridge II stumpage sale was awarded to Merritt Burdge from Spring Run, PA. He/they (?) placed the high bid of $14, 563.00 for 29 acres of saw timber and pulpwood.
The Wirt Road stumpage sale was awarded to Mohn's Lumber from Waynesboro, PA. They placed the high bid of 170,008.00 for 303 acres of saw timber and pulpwood.
These sales were posted down here previously.
How much are trails worth?
How much economic influx could a region see from being a recreation destination?
How much could/should the system change?
Different people want to see different things.
How are they balanced, prioritized, compromised?
There's no guarantee existing trail treads will be respected. Afterwards, they may be reopened, or they may not be salvageable. Guess we'll see.

I suppose this is the trade-off for having all that great land to ride on... If that keeps the state forest in business and protected from total clear cutting than it's a small price to pay... if there is another way to do it though, it should be investigated. I don't think anyone wants to see the amazing resource that is Michaux State Forest disappear like the state parks are doing.
