A forest is a living ecosystem, with thousands and thousands of plants, animals, insects and fungi. When we cut it down and replace it with essentially one species of tree of one age and one size, it becomes something else. ething that has economic, ecological and social consequences.
Fifty years ago, there was logic in creating plantations – then leaves were seen as a weed that would go away and few realized the big consequences.
Today it is different, today more and more people understand that we need forestry that works for both people and nature. Together we shape the future.
Three sample images of forest, plantings & clear cutting will be posted here.
