We in the US lag far behind most of the civilized world in recycling resources; this does boost sales of freshly-extracted resources.
OTOH, companies like Marcal Paper use recycled waste paper for much of their raw material, reducing the number of spotted owls this fellow mentioned for wiping his butt.
Forests produce much of value in addition to timber. Read: air, water, wildlife, etc.
Salmon fishery still crashing, 2 years now no commercial salmon fishing along cal/ore/wash coast and pulling down a dam or two! Salvage logging fuel reduction will continue, but with 90% of US temperate rain forest gone, timber harvest will never be near as much as it was. We sold peeled Popplar logs to the paper mill for 5bucks delivered. Redwood not normally used for butt wipe. Hemp crops make better paper stock, Rag Content = percent hemp in paper. Dollar bills 24 % hemp!
I love watching experienced fallers! You can learn alot.
