We aim to share and provide resources about our forests to bring attention to the nuances involved in stewardship decisions.

"Harvesting timber from forests, for both environmental and commercial purposes, is a vital forest management tactic promoting biodiversity, forest regeneration and carbon sequestration, according to local and state experts." @maura_healey https://t.co/uoWO67RVcd

@Wanderingwhist1 @standingtrees_ @davabel @BostonGlobe If we are harvesting less on public lands than private, that suggests public land management is not focused on resource extraction, but, rather, the goals mentioned in the following: https://t.co/riAzjaPMUE

@standingtrees_ @davabel @BostonGlobe According to this, the forest products from this project are a byproduct of achieving these other worthy goals.

@davabel @BostonGlobe The true disaster is the importation of wood from faraway countries with less environmental and worker regulations. This is a climate justice issue.

"human activities have largely dampened the influence of natural disturbances; restoring or emulating these disturbances is typically required for habitat restoration even when doing so equates to less carbon storage at the stand level."

@davabel @BostonGlobe 100-year-old trees are not old growth. Many of the trees on public lands are plantations from the Civilian Conservation Corps era and are in decline. Clear-cuts are a silvicultural tool that allows enough light for the seed bank to regenerate in a diverse way.

In Pennsylvania, @forestservice / @usfs_nrs scientists & partners found tree-ring & fire-scar chronologies recovered from red pine trees extend back to 1370 & 1402; it is unique foundational ecological information on fire regimes of the Northeast.

"Despite mounting calls to decolonize conservation & decades of critical engagement by Indigenous & non-Indigenous scholars, contemporary Western conservation discourse & practice continues to strip away non-European notions of reciprocity between humans & the world around us."

"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace."
