As I’ve been saying for years to people who complain about clear cutting, they aren’t destroying forests, they’re creating meadows. Wildlife flocks to clear cuts.
A lot of wildlife, such as deer and elk, like the edges of forests and meadows. They have cover during the day, and grazing at night.
“As I’ve been saying for years to people who complain about clear cutting, they aren’t destroying forests, they’re creating meadows. Wildlife flocks to clear cuts.”
Exactly, its called “edge” land. Where forest meets the meadows and open areas.
In fact, Native Americans (Indians, to everyone) used to start forest fires just to maintain habitat for deer and other big game. The Forest Primeval of North America wasn’t.
That Indian in the public service ad in the 70’s might have shed a tear over pollution and littering, but he had a big smile over forest fires!
