Forest and lumber jack tools
JuhaManninen:
My son studied in Scotland and likes it very much.
I know what you mean. I love nature. I was partly thrilled and entranced by seeing the big bird, partly annoyed, partly scared. Yes. :)
It may sound strange but cutting part of the trees off now makes the forest healthier. The very dense forest block is caused by an earlier clearcut and then planting seedlings, all having the same age and size. When they grow, they don't have enough light. Some die, the rest have green parts only at the top. They are not healthy.
It does not happen in a natural forest. There every seedling must compete for light and other resources againsts trees of different ages and sizes. When a big old tree dies and falls, small trees take over the space.
People can live with forests and use them without causing big damage. Cutting down some selected trees is fine. Some very big trees can be left there to die and rot naturally. It again improves biodiversity.
Clearcutting and monocultures are truly evil. I will not do that in my forest. A healthy forest is my goal.
This may look almost like clearcutting but is not :)

Nicely piled without machine power. Now some light can enter the forest floor.
I have studied and followed permaculture principles in gardening although at very small scale now. I will have more garden space later.
I have also learned that we are fed lies about many environment issues. One is the carbon dioxide hoax. In reality the added CO2 does not affect temperature much but it is very beneficial to biology. Plants suffer from a chronic lack of CO2. The more the better.
Another blatant lie is the demonization of cattle, ruminants. Their farts make the ecosystem collapse! Yeah right ...
In reality grazing more cattle following a certain technique is the only way to restore the soil depleted by modern agriculture. Grasses, ruminant herds and predators have formed a symbiosis during millions of years. It has created the thick black soils in north-America and in Eurasia. Similar ruminant herd movements can now be simulated by electric fences etc.
Study Allan Savory, Regenerative Farming (eg. Gabe Brown) etc.
There is an evil agenda behind those lies. Beware! I would love to explain this topic more but this may not be the right forum.
