Made up nonsense about trees.
The tree huggers (commies) will use this to stop logging.

You can clear cut a forest and it grows back quickly with a “diverse” amount of plant life. My grandparents had a cabin 180 miles north of Minneapolis, Minnesota and the land next to them was clearcut back in the 1970’s. Prior you could not walk into as it was so dense. Just animal trails. Afterward I walked in the area on the roads made by the big machines and it was wide open and I thought it would take a long time to recover. The next summer you could not walk in due to the growth reaching over your head and the roads were covered over.

I believe this was the case with the Mt. Saint Helens volcanic eruption. All life would take dozens of years to re establish itself yet within ten years life had returned.

What’s more, really old forests have less game. There is less undergrowth for them to eat. There is a reason why the cycle of burn and regrowth is natural and needed.
