Great video, great points! The cesspools of humanity we call cities, are more of an issue (and where the college kids live who complain). They are the reason and you do a great job of pointing out the issues! Bravo!
Ya'll are absolutely correct, and I stand beside you 100%, Forestry cutting does not kill a Forrest, I live at the base of 19,500 acres of Federal Forest land, have seen it logged completely in 60 years span ( First time they set up slab mills and used mules and horses to drag logs out of the woods) Trees grew back cut again 30 years ago and the trees grew back and are huge now, there were no replanting, trees replant them selves Crews came out and cut around the better young trees giving them room to grow. They take paradise and put up a parking lot! that my friends is killing a forest, now watch what happens when solar farm is not kept up. Trees will grow...
I enjoyed your video. I think that your hearts are in the right place. I think that your observations upon your land are in line with, even, those whom you perceive to be your opponents, but I’d say you are approaching a slippery slope. While it may be true that environmentalists were the first to question the consumption of paper bags, they were also the first to deplore the use of plastic bags. This leads to the question of what role has the petroleum industry played in the mismanagement of forested land, with their uber strong lobbying power in our government. Even the marketing of “reduce, reuse, recycle” was a petroleum industry campaign to nullify the environmentalist mindset against plastics that, at the time, were increasingly contesting plastics as choking the land. I like to spread the word whenever I can that the fathers of conservation and environmentalism, both Gifford Pinchot and John Muir, were friends with a great appreciation for nature and the great outdoors. Though they contested on issues of purpose and usage, their views on the merits of nature were in line. Some observations from your video that I feel inclined to make…1) your forest is in the process of returning. Everything in nature is an opportunist, and though it appears to be, yet again, a forest, it is a mere infant yet to define its potential. 2) an old growth forest does not discourage life, it is the most abundant in the diversity of life, which gives way to keystone species to keep things in check, should those species not be extinct. 3) I was hoping that when you turned the log of a felled tree, that you were going to point out the presence of fungi that are also eating and decomposing the wood, creating soil, and offering healthy nutrients to the growth and future of your forest.
@@TheCoehess you make a lot of valid points. Our main goal was to portray the forest as a renewable resource and harvesting that resource while keeping it healthy. I could have and should have made the point about the fungi breaking down the left behind tops to make soil. It's hard to squeeze everything into a 12-15 minute video. Thank you for commenting.
Reminds me of a time when semi-legally jeeping in the adirondacks and we ran across some down trodden hunters coming out...no deer as there is such a dense canopy and no light getting through for ground cover to grow for the deer to eat.
Let's not forget 12,200 square miles of structures, 4.3 million miles of roads, an unknown area of sidewalk and poured concrete slabs and 2.6 million miles of oil and gas pipelines.
@@BeyondPC you are correct, but as long as we inhabit the earth infrastructure and dwellings are going to exist. I'm basically pointing out the unnecessary things we do that eliminates forests for good in our lifetime. Interstates and freeways all have medians between the lanes, those could be spaces to let forests grow between the roads, cut down on the expensive maintenance of mowing and actually beautify the hi ways. Trees naturally remove carbon emissions from the air as does farm fields albeit hay or food crops.
@@glenmomrik727 I watched a video on that very subject that Facebook deemed false information. The video stated our scientists do their studies with government grants. In order to get those Grant's.......I'll let you figure it out from there 😏
@@carnivorebackwoods Thanks John! You, like us take care of our piece of the earth! Our property, on the southern face of the mountain, will never be a solar field while I'm alive!
very informative video, welcome to the United States of the Offended. It amazes me, the things people can worry about, it takes outdoor folks to offer up truth about land management.
I can back up what you say with many examples. Excellent job of turning a negative comment into a very good informative video.
@@WilsonForestLands You too are a very good Stewart of the land. You provide many examples in your videos!

@@TheOldJarhead thank you Sir! You are correct!
Well done brotha's.

@@johnaddis1022 solar fields taking up farm and forest lands are the absolute worst. You are right. Not kept up nature will reclaim it!
Excellent video guys, wild fires kill more trees than loggers !
@@HedgehogLodge-Dale that is true. But even wild fires can't stop regrowth. Pavement and solar fields on the other hand......

I'm just curious it seems some of our scientists seem to have there studys align with whoever is funding them
