Default RE: 70 yrs of good - 5 of bad

do I farm naw I just sit here an type all day. I am able today to produce three times the amount of product than I did in the 50s on 1/3 less the amount of ground. The PGc has done nothing in that same amount of time but watch it's trees grow! Why weren't they actively regenerating their forests? Why did/do they timber <1% of their forests for new forest growth? Mismanagement is the answer, no way around that.
Here's an example while they sat back an lost Beech an Hemlock to acid rain and aphids why didn't they replant a tolerant variety of mass producing timber? They just didn't care or else they were poorly managed either way today both beech an hemlock among others are in danger. When they could have been timbered and replanted. Why? cause Beech has little value as a timber hardwood. now what does that tell you about management for the resources and hunters? The PGC just is not worried about hunters
