In Response To: Re: Trees (Roger Tulk)

I'm a student at the University of Minnesota's College of Natural Resources (Forestry major) and, although I'm generally againnst clearcuts, I think something else should be said here. Clearcutting is ugly, and in many cases is environmentaly unsound. However, there are tree species (like Jack pine and Ponderosa pine) that actually require a clearcut in order to regenerate naturally. Clearcutting is also done when the site's topography does not allow any other harvest method. Clearcutting is also used when then harvest is done to manage for water, which is often done in the western US.

That being said, I still am against clearcuts.
