I found it interesting that she defended cutting the trees and told how they reseed or plant saplings. I didn’t realize that those large trees were 20 years old, and the seedlings would be their size in 20-30 years.
Those trees grow FAST! In the lower 48, the Marxist-enviromentalmidgets prohibit logging, clearing of brush where species of some sort reside, so that wildfires take most of the trees, and of course the lives of the endangered and all the species. Idiots.
I guess if you grow up where forests have always been a part of your life like Maine way on the other side of the country, where logging trucks are part of the landscape, where Canada and the US share a logging industry ruled by our governmental bureaucracy, where paper mills once employed thousands of workers and are minimal now..where logs once floated down the rivers like the Kennebec, and mill towns had a stink to them.
Where the Beans of Egypt, Maine were and still are struggling real people, perhaps now part of the 2nd Militia-gun-toting, working class folks.
The saplings that just reseed, whether deciduous or conifers were just a noticeable part of being outdoors and even emphasized in early scouting years. I have "wide" cut white pines in board form that can date back to revolutionary war [White Pine War] time. The trees had room to grow, why are some rings closer and others further apart--so much many of us just take for granted.
