"the state is importing 40% of its lumber from Canada"

Just like oil. It's OK to get from somewhere else and pay a lot more for.

In NH the only way you stop trees from growing is to pave over where they grew, build a house or other structure where they were, like what you live in.

The way you prevent that is having a market for them so periodic logging keeps it economical to keep the land forested.

Check out a place where an area hasn't been logged in a long time. Walk in Franconia notch straight up from the northbound Basin parking area, then straight down to the parking lot to avoid getting lost. It hasn't been logged since the cleanup of the 1938 hurricane. You will find very little sign of birds or animals. Nothing for them to eat. A desert of trees.

Then find a clear cut, from a year to 20 years ago. Be careful to not step in animal crap. Plenty of birds. A clear cut creates an animal cafeteria with all of the berries, young growth, etc. they need to eat.

The Indians solved this, if there weren't enough natural fires from lightning, by burning huge tracts of land so the hunting would be good again.

Prior to the 1900s, there was no way to fight wildfires. Without the biomass power plants there is little market for the "trash wood" that is not good for logs, firewood for houses or pulp.

If a landowner cannot recover enough money to at least pay taxes, he may have to sell the land to developers or develop the land himself into housing, industry, etc. Trees gone forever.
