Clear cutting is often beneficial.

In the absence of sunlight, the dark, cool forest floor becomes relatively uninhabitable for the plants and to the wildlife that had earlier thrived there. Hence, to rejuvenate the forest as a nurturing environment, it becomes time to harvest a stand by clear cutting and start anew.

According to today’s forest wisdom, new methods of clear cutting attempt to blend cut stands into the landscape. By removing smaller plots of trees that are mature enough for harvesting, clear cutting mimics natural occurrences like tornadoes, hurricanes or forest fires that have been unnaturally suppressed to protect people and property.

[who knows what evil?]

People should take a ride through the back roads of Maine to marvel at the acreage of young trees that have been planted by the 'evil lumber companies'...does the phrase 'renewable resource' ring a bell with the left?

I plant a new garden every year to replenish my pantry...works like a charm.
