I can agree with Rush. I have worked as a logger and after I retired I worked in a fishing camp and we used the logging company's road for access and you'd be surprised to see the loads of wood they would haul out. It was sad as the law stated that they must leave a 50' stand around lakes, but they didn't in all cases and also when the cut conifers they would leave the aspen and white birch. The birch would die off in a couple of years because they need the ''comfort'' of surronding conifers. My friend runs a replanting business and this past summer his gang planted 1.4 million trees.
Asfor the axe and saw thing....not 100% with them because on privately owned lands, folks can manage their forests so as they last for generations. I had a maple syrup cabin for 20 years and I never cut a green tree, never. All I did was clean up broken branches and trees and windfalls. For 35 years now I have been heating 80% with wood and I use the same practice as I did at my cabin. There are more trees rotting out there than folks can imagine. I also will cut for folks who have a bad tree in their yard, did thre the other day.

I am really looking forward to seeing all the trees from all over. In grade school we had to learn a poem and the only line I remember is "only God can make a tree" I hope I don't get too carried away and send too many!
As I am working on this all of a sudden I have a problem and I can only get 2 photos to load so I am sending these and will try again for more....I have more trees I want to share!
