Michael, I do believe that if the government forbids you from using your land for a logical purpose that was the reason you bought it, so that you are unable to profit from it in any way, it has the responsibility to compensate you for your loss. This quickly gets really tricky, however. For example, when people own waterfront property that has been destroyed several times by hurricanes, and the government incurs enormous costs in rescuing people and in subsidizing the rebuilding, that seems shortsighted. Obviously there are some places which simply should be left in their natural state. The government has an interest in maintaining wetlands, and the entire planet benefits from trees not being harvested in a thoughtless manner, as well.

Do you enjoy in any way the land where you cannot harvest the trees? If not, is it possible to sell it?
