Here's a rebuttal. Becasue of the productivity increases in agriculture, a greater % of Virginia is forested toady than during the Civil War. I guess an environmentalist would argue all those forests consist of plastic trees because they are not 'Frontier Forests.'

You're absolutely right. A tree is a tree is a tree. Its' age has no meaning. It's like saying my mother is better than me because she is 90 and I'm only 60.
It's the PURPOSE of trees that is important and their PURPOSE is not to just stand around and look beautiful. It is a renewable source.
Wonder how many of those environmentalists have frame houses with fireplaces.
