Trees are one of our greatest natural resources. I go on a camping trip in the BWCA every year.... not a sissy first lake trip... a deep country bust your ass trip, I know the location of some remnant stands of virgin red and white pine. I'll try to get pics next year. Like walking into a cathedral.
Our forests provide us with an endless supply of building materials and other products when properly managed. They provide jobs for millions of American workers and pump money into our economy as one of the few things we are net exporters of. They heat our homes, shade ourselves and our livestock, block the biting winter wind, moderate extreme temperature and humidity swings, scrub pollutants from the air, and provide infinite recreational enjoyment. Truly one of Gods wonders.
Anybody else really hate those tree faces people nail up to "beautify" their trees?
