Has everybody forgotten that TREES GROW BACK!!!

The greenies want everybody to think that as soon as a forest is logged it's gone forever. There are places here in Washington state that have been logged three times already and those darn trees keep coming back. Imagine that.

Mysteryyzz, in this particular video there was not one giant sequoia being logged that I could see, the wood they were logging was second or maybe even third growth douglass fir, maybe some small redwood and sequoia trees mixed in. I am almost certain it was a thinning sale on government land and they always leave the biggest trees, I know this for a fact because I've cut trees on forest service land and it's always the case.

great point im glade im not the only one here with a brain its true those trees take a long time to grow but guess what people they dont give all that much o2 off its the younger trees that give off more of the 02 than those great big 1000 year old trees so log the ones that are not healthy or pose a hazzard and let some stand to grow
