Board-feet, not feet

I changed the unit of measurement of the timber loss from "feet" to "board-feet" (with link, for definition). Linear feet is not a meaningful unit for measuring timber, and the amount (12 million board-feet) seems right for the area of loss. BMJ-pdx (talk) 13:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
