Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman ordered that no healthy trees be cut and that no new roads invade the wilderness areas. Forest Service managers already have petitioned for exceptions. The trees in the Chiricahua Mountains remain standing, although they are now dead wood, said Joan Vasey, spokeswoman for the Forest Service's Douglas Ranger District. The trees are 9 to 17 inches in diameter and are expected to be used as vigas, the trendy and distinctive round poles in the roofs of Santa Fe-style homes whose ends stick out of the side walls.

"We've had quite a few people call the office," Vasey said. "The district is trying to meet some of the public's needs (for such to the soil.

The center has offices in Tucson, Phoenix and Albuquerque, N.M.

The Forest Service has been moving ahead with plans to cut the timber despite environmentalists' objections that the area is inhabited by threatened Mexican spotted owls. Proponents contend the salvage law is needed to improve the health of the forests. They argue it allows trees to be cut in areas that have been burned or that are at risk for fire, disease or insects. Removing such trees, they say, reduces the risk of fires in the future. Environmentalists say the law has been used by the timber in The Associated Press Environmentalists have come up with a novel way to prevent salvage logging of burned timber in a southeastern Arizona forest: Buy the cutting rights, then let the trees stand until they fall and rot.

The Southwest Center for Biological Diversity submitted permit requests to the Coronado National Forest Friday to harvest about 1,600 trees in the Rustler Timber Salvage Area. The area was the site of the Rattlesnake fire two years ago in the Chiricahua Mountains. The trees, at $5 each, would cost the group about $8,000. The sale, is the first in Arizona under a controversial timber-salvage amendment passed last year by Congress that exempts salvage logging from environmental laws. Instead of cutting the trees, however, the environmentalists plan to leave them alone until they fall, rot and return nutrients peaks for Itself.
