what excuses are made to justify the cutting of trees
Answers
Answer:
First, we all use wood. A lot of wood. At least four to five pounds every day. This is a good thing. Managed forests grow wood forever, and we currently grow far more wood than we use. Other raw materials have limited supplies, even if some of them occur in abundance. Full life cycle accounting for carbon and energy clearly demonstrates wood is far more sustainable than other raw materials. Substituting wood for other materials, where possible, is nearly always the more eco-friendly choice.
Second, removing the correct trees from a woodland area helps maintain forest health and vigor. This is the single best way to prevent or minimize the effects of insects and diseases. Nature has a peculiar habit of killing forests in dramatic, if sometimes gradual, ways. This is especially true of our current forests, which are results of extreme disturbance from the historic logging era.
Third, a managed forest can greatly enhance the financial value of trees. Money from the forest is a good objective and can be quite lucrative if done properly. Tens of millions of acres are managed this way by corporations that report to stockholders. Many IRA retirement portfolios include these companies. It works.
Fourth, cutting trees encourages regeneration and future forests. Different tree species have different requirements for light, soil, water, etc. Opening-up a stand in a way that encourages desired species is important to obtain the kinds of forest we want to see.
Fifth, managed forests produce higher quality and a greater amount of ecological services, such as soil quality, clean water, carbon sequestration, nutrient retention and more. Essentially, we get more “stuff” when we manage. Nature does not work for us, but we can manage forests to work for us.
