I know and I live in a province where outside of fishing, logging was the other big industry. We have been replanting trees here but we are far behind the game it isn't funny at times. And a seedling has to be in the ground over 20years before it is ready to be logged. Which is why the logging companies want to go onto protected lands. Not good. There are trees in my province that are between 500-1,000years old and they are huuge both in trunk width and just height. Those are called "Old Growth" and are protected.

Huh...

Not trying to get political or anything, but perhaps tariffs on Canada for lumber would actually deter some of that potential behavior?

How good are the local/regional/countrywide politicians when it comes to protecting all of that. Do you trust those in power to keep good on those promises.

Native Tribes and promises aside, nobody should ever think of touching trees with that kind of history anywhere in the world that they're still growing is my belief. Regrow everywhere we can, and use that to replenish our needs. We don't need to destroy everything with history like this. Because if we do that, we'll still be in the same position we were, short on everything we need, but now nothing is still left that wouldn't take another 5 to 15 lifetimes to regrow from scratch, assuming that our planet is even capable of doing that under different circumstances than those which these large trees flourished.

I would think if it's too expensive for logging companies in Canada to even consider cutting that stuff down, it can't be a bad thing. I don't even know, Brenda... are there even still tariffs against Canadian lumber imports?
