New imagery for Google Earth (Pro) just came on line: yearly historical mosaics going back to 1984, in full color.
It is low resolution imagery so you need to be zoomed out a bit for it to appear in the time slider.
At a glance logging has continued or accelerated in many areas but one positive change is seen in the Bull Run watershed. In 1995 it has been extensively logged under the cover of public ignorance, but twenty years later it is resembling a forest again.
