No emotions except utter joy at the bounty to come from it. Have you ever seen nature at work after a good forest fire? If only a few trees burned hit and miss style do you think you would get the same result? NO WAY! Level the forest. Good for wildlife, good for the forest. Just because some things are not pretty, doesn't mean they are not good. Some things need to be "ugly" to work right. I don't mean to cut everywhere all at once, but we need to get moving on some timetable. Do a grid system, like a checkerboard. Send the tree-worshippers to Brazil.
