We need more forest. But better fire management will take care of the rest.
Clear cutting adds life into the woods.
But libs donât even want to cut those tree that have been effected with beetles.
Stronger hurricanes.

Want to know the best part of his article? It makes your point and not his
The best bird habitats contain a mix of forests both young and old. Varietyâin this case, habitat variÂetyâis the spice of life for birds.
It even illustrates the point
Oh manâŚyou canât go there and not be humbled.
That is not true
Nope.
Properly managed logging and fire, yesâŚ
Like in Chile
Maybe not as a broad brush.
But there are enviro groups out there that protest and try to prevent any logging. Even the logging thatâs good for a forest.
They may not be the majority on the left. But they are on the left.

Years ago there was small patch of effected tree near Lake Chelan. They wanted to cut out those trees that was effected. Then it spread cover thousands of acres.
Well few years ago then all went up in smoke.
BTWâŚit you only going to take one boat trip on fresh water lakeâŚLake Chelan is great lake. It takes your through multiple forests systems.
sigh Try reading the whole article, what we are missing is new growth forest. And my point wasnât that we shouldnât have old growth forest, it was that we donât have nearly enough new growth forest.
They are also the right
Umm. You just contradicted yourself.
Which is it. Logging to removed diseased trees is good or bad?
How is showing that environmental groups also exist on the right contradicting myself
56th day of 100 degrees in austin. either the 4th or 5th highest on record.
17th day over 100 in september,an all time record.
Most of teh hottest summers of all time in austin have occurred since 2000
My apologies.
I read that as âThey are also right.â Which is why I thought there was a contradiction.

No. I do not agree with them
All good. Thanks
Thatâs not what you originally said (âold growth is crappyâ), and others are also trying frame it black as white. Ranging from the young meadow/clearing to the thickest old growth, all are essential to the health of a forest.
A large area of cleared forest is not as productive as you think, being surrounded by the various stages of forest is key into making those cleared/burned areas thrive.
But yes, the 19th century (and allowing areas of forest to become overgrown) provides a lot of lessons on better management going forward.
8 of the 10 years with the most days over 100 in austin have occurred since 2000
Oh Iâm sorry, did I not use precise enough language? Oh well.
