Not arguing that there will be money made but let us not overlook the fact that these cuts also allow for regeneration of old growth forests which, in turn, invites native flora & fauna species to reclaim areas taken over by invasive species. It allows the land to regenerate much like it would have before we began disallowing forestry such as this. “Back in the day” natural disasters like fires, flooding, etc may have wiped land clean but the land did regenerate naturally.

This is a complex debate that deserves more scrutiny by people making their own decisions after being properly educated. We need to listen to each other and learn together. The old growth forest looks very pretty with all those big beautiful oaks, maples, etc but is that the only sign of a healthy forests??

Trust me, I’m not here to argue and insult other people, just presenting a very high level overview of another thought process.
