"how long does it need to take to regenerate to be considered lost?" FYI: Surprisingly in that region, they can be re-cutting mature trees for lumber on the same ground in 20 to 40 years, if they manage the new growth that way. I know you are concerned about losses that go beyond wood.

I am with you choose, I am just painting the reality I have lived with for 40 years. I can barely keep my front yard from overgrowing me. And I have a large lawn and live in the middle of the population area. It is so wild up here and the vegetation is so tough. If you do not poisen it it will beat you every time. Spruce and alder are so tough. The delicate maple trees have adapted to the southeast and has taken foot. They are very subserviant to Native vegitation so are a nice addition. I have a large maple in my front yard that generated by itself. I keep the wild surrounding vegetation from overwhelming it and feed it. Very pretty and soft compared to the rest of the vegetation. Sort of like the difference between a princess and a sumo wrestler.
