The Positive and Negative Effects of Forestry

While the trees are growing, you plant many more than you anticipate harvesting. Some species like our silky oak and eucalypts are very compatible. They can grow on the same site because they have different root system types. The little tap can suddenly make some of those ecological processes run again. Let's just cut down half the trees in this little patch and you watch how the ones we leave respond. And when they see that response, they say, I can see why it's healthier now because I've tapped it.
