Even though it takes 80-100 years to grow a mature forest that certainly doesn’t mean the mature trees all falls down at the end of that 100 years if they aren’t harvested. Our forests, in most of this state, are more then that 80-100 years old mark.
That isn't even close to being true. The fact is a significant percentage of the trees that regenerated over 100 years ago were destroyed by forest fires or harvested for mine timbers and other uses during WW2. Also. the amount of forested acres in creased from 1929 ,which means there are a lot of trees that are much younger than 100 yrs old.. You can't spin the history of our forests because their are too many sources that prove you are wrong.
