Opening comments: More at the end. [ section above ] Other Enclosure - D). A short list of some of the scientific studies and Web-sites I was refered to Most of these items came too near the Hearing date or after it, so a proper review was not possible. Here is only 1 page. On the Cawthra-Bush.org Web-site, there are two Web-pages; The positive effects of forests and the negative effects of development, which list the material more completely. Web-sites: http://www.ccfm.org/ci/int5_e.html
