Cut down the trees and that is what happens, oh well
It's not cutting down the trees. It's HOW you cut down the trees. Trees are the ultimate renewable resource. And gravity is always working to make mole hills out of mountains.

This is a wilderness, folks, no tree cutting allowed.
As a source of oxygen, trees should be protected a much as possible.
("The ultimate renewable resource?") The trees, grow in this altitude for about 300 years.
Can we wait for that long?

When you harvest trees responsibly and replant, then yes. The ultimate renewable resource. Personally, I think old growth forest should be off the table. But there are plenty of forests that are suitable for responsible harvesting.

Great photo. Too bad people have to make a political statement about how nature works. Maybe there were trees there 300 years ago. Logging was not occurring there 300 years ago. If I'm not mistaken this photo was taken in the San Juan Range of mountains in Colorado. Insects and fires have been a part of Western forests for thousands of years. If this is an eastern mountain range, where is it located. Doesn't look eastern.

Another look and it looks like avalanche runs. These are like lightning they strike in the same place many times. The location can be identified, when the snow pack is going to unravel is not predictable. Drive Highway 550 between Ouray and Silverton, Colorado, it will be a rewarding experience.

Agreed. I live in WA and we harvest trees and replant/seed for new ones. We get an abundance of rain here, the most in the continental US which makes an almost continuous harvest possible. An area that was harvested not much more than 1 to 1.5 years ago, now has new trees of more than 8 ft tall. It will take them a while to grow the girth needed before the next harvest, however, we are doing our best to provide what they need to thrive. They are so beautiful and nature has blessed us with these wonderful trees. I hope that we will continue to assist nature and not be too greedy in out taking.
