  1. Thank God Turner has 2 million acres and the largest buffalo herd in the world. If it weren’t for Mr. Turner then our national treasured buffalo would be listed as another endangered species and the few left would only be seen in Zoos!!! What a wonderful way to use his land.

  2. Native Americans used to own this whole continent until someone else decided they deserved to have it instead!!! There are no guarantees in this life.

    Thanks for the information. Timberland owners have a responsibility to present and future generations to manage their resources to ensure present and future generations will be able to enjoy the land and environment. I hope the practice of clear-cutting forest tracts that remove every last tree from the site has gone the way of the dinosaur.
