...unless after we log we replant, then let the forest grow unmolested for the next 250 - 1000 years.
Instead, "crop" rotations are in the span of a few short decades, ensuring that bleak mono-culture tree plantations replace vibrant, ecologically diverse old growth.

Glad I found your blog. Keep up the great work. It keeps me inspired as well...
ReplyDeleteThank you for speaking out for big trees and old-growth forests. You are so right. Once you cut old-growth, it's virtually gone forever....at least in any meaningful way. We have so little of these forests left. Let's keep them.
