[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5326320, member: 20594"] There is a portion of our family land that was once clear cut and literally cleared to make open field....best I can tell it was done pre 1950...it has since returned to forest...few red oak, several dogwood, cedar and some very impressive poplar....our Forester references this area as "old field growth timber"....in the earliest aerial images I can find (1954) you can clearly see field....in my lifetime it's been forest...then two years ago we worked with our Forester and took some large poplar from these areas and opened up the canopy....this generated some amazing new growth.....so the cycle continues..... renewable resource when managed correctly. As BSK said...and I agree....clear cutting can have it's place.....and I'm not a fan of giant areas being clear cut either....but doing it in patches can add fantastic diversity to a property....and diversity benefits a wide variety of wildlife.
