I've had this conversation a number of times on here, yes. Public forest lands would not be rewilded in the lifetime of any single human generation. The project of rewilding would be multigenerational, just as was the project of turning 85% of Old Growth into cutover, fire- prone, tree plantations. 

At the same time, there's no reason to exclude judicious "thinning" on public land from the toolbox of techniques for rewilding. There would be an economic incentive. Rewilding would create forest products and jobs, just NOT with the intention of maximizing yields. Rather it would  aim at a gradual "retreat" from the forests as they become more and more fire resilient and wild. 

The things is, we don't have any choice, because the combination of climate change, watershed and habitat degradation will make too much of Oregon uninhabitable too soon.
