Fortunately, trees hang around for a long time while we make up our minds what the heck to do with them. You should know that they invented this new thing a few years back called a chain saw. where you have a preponderance of slow-growing old-growth, which is the current situation. I don't have numbers handy, But it is my understanding that some 80% of the national forests have been cut at some time and are therefore not old-growth. It's a fiction to think that environmentalists want to ban all timber harvest, they just want to preserve some of the forest areas. That means not just preserving the trees, but preserving enough contiguous wild land for the birds and animals to thrive in sustainable numbers. Those considerations are left out of most of your harvest formulas. TP
