I am not sure what they are talking about. Most pine trees around here are straighter than Hiawatha’s arrow.
Most, but there are exceptions, and turning them into a profit-making and value-adding item is a good thing for everyone.
‘Osarks’: aux arcs
Did that name come from the Osage orange, that the French thought the local wood was good for making bows or, what the heck are talking about here?
Explain yourself Arkie.
We discussed it here before.
It is more and more recognized that the “save the forest” environs practically destroyed our forests!
There are too many trees around, and they cause these devastating wildfires.
We need to thin our forest!
But, thanks to the years of neglect, we do not have the people, and there is lack of demand for trees which are not first class.
Companies will not cut trees which they cannot sell.
It used to be these weed trees were used for paper, but we have so much recycled one now, we cannot use the wood!
So many paper mills went out of business!
Investments like this will, hopefully, help us to save the forest by creating demand for subpar trees produced by thinning, when applying proper forest management!
