Settle down, green folks. Notice that these trees are all of identical height and age, and planted in perfectly spaced rows? This is simply farming, and the crop is wood. Trees are a renewable resource; if you want to help the environment, there are plenty of others that actually make a difference.
What we need are rationale, measured responses on the side of environmentalism, not irrational knee-jerk emotional responses that are all pointless sentiment and no brains. It makes genuine environmentalism look bad, and it will not win the people who actually matter over.
This is really agriculture if you think about it. We grow other crops that we then cut down and harvest, like rice, wheat, corn. Tree is also a crop, just a very slow growing one, and this seems to a cultivated stand of trees grown especially for wood.
Heck, even timber companies have a business plan to ensure they don't go out of business in 20 years time. If care for the environment is not what motivates them to be careful with tree resources, then good business sense will. Logical really.
despite what you may think, it appears to be a tree farm going by the limited undergrowth and the uniformity in which the trees are lined up...i doubt they are over 20 years old
paper and lumber has to come from somewhere and most of it comes from tree farms these days
Yes, I'm sure it's a tree farm. Pine trees grow quickly and are a renewable resource. There's another video, here, called "Red PIne Harvest--Windham County Vemont " that shows the same location.
This is the most frightening thing I've ever seen. I wouldn't have believed a single machine could be so dexterous and dangerous and destructive (or productive, depending on your point of view).
its... its.... its even worse than Terminator. its movements are so natural it seems to be alive like a horrific anti-greenie dinosaur. soon the trees will revolt and build their own ahc (automatic human cutter) and it will come after everyone. ESPECIALLY YOU!!!!!!!!
@phumph what type of timber is the machine working in?

Years of slow growth - cut down in seconds. That's just sad.

Yeah - I see what you're saying. Okay maybe I'm wrong on that. Still looks disturbing.

It is scary that we can destroy this planet faster than it can replenish itself.
It will come to an end, as long as we fail to realize this.
If there is less oxygen in the atmosphere and more carbon, this is one of the reasons.
