Just for the sake of political correctness, You folks do know that I'm joking, right?
Loggers want to do the least damage to the land possible while harvesting the timber.
Reprod (young non-merchantable trees) are protected to the best of our ability.
Environmental damage happens during timber harvest. It's especially ugly in the spring and early summer when you know that deer, nesting birds, all species that live in your area are particularly susceptible to what is basically a total destruction of their home. That's always bothered me. But it is what it is. I could portray it more graphically but I won't. Everybody wants to see the wild critters happy but nobody wants to pay $10 apiece for 2x4's, right?
Ok, ok, ok, I'm done. Just didn't want you folks to think I was a monster. Just doing my job.
