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.
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.
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
@phumph what type of timber is the machine working in?

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