Off La Push Road, DNR land, "Discovery Pass Required" sign at entry

Fresh clearcut. Old growth stumps, from a first cut a century ago?

Fresh-looking chainsaw cuts of second growth.

One old growth stump with a second growth stump growing out of it.

Why cut the second attempt of the old growth tree to grow?

Why is DNR so ruthless in permitting trees growing over old growth stumps so be cut?

Why not protect such second-growth trees?
