  1. Logging in the Sierra Nevada

    Image Sierra Nevada map.png thumb Map of Sierra Nevada. Logging in the California n Sierra Nevada U.S. Sierra Nevada arose from the need to support growing communities in the area. The Gold Rush created a high demand for timber to build housing, for mining procedures, and especially to build Rail transport railroads . In these days use was unregulated and in the first 20 years after the rush, a third of the timber in the Sierra Nevada was logged . Concern for the forests created a movement towards conservation ethic conservation at the turn of the 19th century creating state and national parks Yosemite , Sequoia and Grant Grove and forest reserves. The Sierra Club, a non governmental organization NGO , was founded around this time by the famous preservationist John Muir . Between 1900 and 1940 agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and The National Park Service regulated the use of the Sierra Nevada s resources. The economy boom after World War II dramatically increased timber production in the Sierras using clear cutting as the dominant form of logging.
