Yes I understand but “properly" has different meaning to different people.
If only the companies here would have done an checkerboard type pattern, and allowing for riparian protection zones, I'd have no problem with them harvesting mature trees.
And amazingly, forests do regenerate. Most of the forests visitors see in picturesque settings in Tennessee are not “virgin”. Even the state parkland have been stripped by iron and railroad companies that once flourished here in the 1880's.
