Cutting a few trees from a few acres is NOT DEFORESTATION. Tree canopy cover determines how much oxygen is produced per acre. Opening the canopy up (by removing selected trees) allows neighboring trees to expand (add more leaves). The classic belief of a mature forest being the best for all creatures is false. Biomass, diversity and oxygen production is greatest in a young to middle aged forest where the over and under stories provide food and habitat. I am both a conservationist and a tree farmer - there is room for both aspects in this world.
