My friend, I'll call you my friend because you obliviously don't understand how important forest products are in your life. Unless you live in a cave, burn dried cow patties to keep your cave warm and to cook over, and you wipe your ass with a rock, your a hypocrite.
You use forest products everyday of your life. It's a renewable resource, again, if done respectfully ( respectfully means use the recourses in the trees, ie; fuel wood, garden boarders, mulch, garden furniture, lumber,... you get my drift) there should be no issues in removing a few trees. Not to discourage the use of forest products, but encourage it's use, it's better for the earth. It just needs to be done like the farmers do it, harvest and grow the trees so there will always be trees for our forest products.
So miko2....ease up on our fellow grower, he has a goal in mind, so lets all support his efforts and enjoy his grow.
TMB-
I can go on forever on this subject......dealt with it my whole career.
