17/ Agreed. I've got a few massive tree trunks in my forest, on their side, 3/4 rotted and covered with moss. On the one hand, sure, aesthetic...but on the other, that coulda been a timber framed workshop or a kitchen table for a family.https://twitter.com/EricRichards22/status/1397881410548084736 …

18/ getting back to forest management and principle of revealed preference: commercial loggers actually do a pretty good job on improving / maintaining forest health, but they are bound by certain constraints (how much landowners will pay, how much lumber mills will pay). If >>

19/ >>> you have aesthetic preferences that trump that, and you want to give a level of attention to details and hands on care that "makes no sense" at a commercial level, then you need to take matters into your own hands and lavish unreasonable levels of work on the project.

20/ I have very specific goals for my 40 acres of forest , and I've invested a lot of time in learning about forest management, and I've invested a lot of money in tools. I'm carefully dropping dead trees, clearing ancient rock walls, working w my wife to plant new trees, >>>

21/ piling slash (tree lopped off limbs) in the undercanopy to slowly rot and return nutrients to the soil (and provide habitats for creatures in the intervening decades), cut out and burn invasive species that kill trees, etc. This is hard work. If you want THIS, do THIS.

Herr DC Lange @CarlHedgrenReplying to @MorlockPIt really is that simple. You like trees? Buy forest and let it be. You like forests?

24/ This is the point that I keep coming back to, and that n̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ few people want to acknowledge. We have no idea if that tree was live when it was logged, and I'd actually bet $1 that it was not.https://twitter.com/cyr_actual/status/1397883826802728962 …

25/ People dislike this point bc it interferes w forces-of-good vs forces-of-evil narrative. Far better to DECLARE that these short sighted merchants KILLED J̶E̶S̶U̶S̶ a tree for not reason other than love of dollars than to consider that maybe this is just pragmatism.
