Question: How many clear cuts exist within Mount Hood National Forest?
Answer: 2,600
Logging has taken a heavy toll on Mount Hood National Forest, with approximately 2,600 individual clear cuts scaring the land. Clear cuts destroy habitat for wildlife, and cause erosion that pollutes streams and harms fish. Worse, clear cuts can take decades to heal.
