I love Michigan's forests!
It's not how many trees or even the density of the forest that matters, it's the diversity of plants and animals that can live under and on them that contributes to forest health. Natural forests aren't just a mono-cropped canopy, but have plant communities of many species with developed ecological relationships. Trees can be planted, but a forest cannot. As we expand into undeveloped land, we inevitably clear more trees. Those trees aren''t always what we've grown. With regards to forest management, some forest do need direct human interference, but it's NOT by cutting trees. Oak-hickory forest and oak barrens requires fire to clear out brush, but the trees remain because they can take the heat. Food-providing herbaceous plants flood the illuminated understory. For more on what happens when oak-hickory forests go without fire, look up forest mesophication and its causes.

At 0:30 yeah there are alot of trees but not a's much! Like how it was before. At 1:42 yeah theirs probably are a little bit more trees, but they aren't not a's big, like how the old ones once was. But that's just my opinion.
Hopefully honesty over greed prevails, we need a sustainable forest, not clear cutting especially public lands private owners would be will advised also to keep a sustainable forest. Any more then 25% of select cutting down hard woods is bad for nature, and is just greed over a sustainable earth and forest for future generations.
we need less people on this earth! people need to have less kids and protect more land!
So glad this channel exists
Select cutting which often looks like a clear cut isn't good. Over cutting of hardwood takes to long to grow.
This is very permaculture, is anyone familiar? Love
Not a's big for decent size veneer log trees. Like how there use to be. But inerways nice video of that.
Trees are supposed to live hundreds of years, not be cut down after 30.
