Firs, cedars, hemlock, oaks

Cedars and oaks wouldn't be used for paper, but I can see why it is alarming if timbering in old growth forests taking younger trees would harm the old oaks and old cedars. I am a believer in old oaks ... one over the hill from my house is at leaszt 150 years old. There are Beech Trees on my Mother's property that are likely near 200 years old.
