from letter 339 to 'the Daily Telegraph' entitled 'Forestry and Us'.

It would be unfair to compare the Foresrty Commission with sauron because as you observe itis capable of repentance; but nothing it has done that is stupid compares withthe destruction, torture,and murder of trees that is perpetrated by private individuals and minor official bodies. The savage sound of the electric saw is never silent wherever trees are still found growing.

a note from lindil: It would be nice,to see this thread continue on and on, but as I shall for the forseeable future need to keep my energies and efforts confined to the Silmarillion Project, I leave it to the hands of others.
