Planting trees post clear cutting does not establish a healthy or usable forest.

Thinning is more expensive and difficult than clear cutting, which is why we don't do it often.

Well, planting soy beans after cutting down a forest doesn't establish a healthy forest either. But farms are useful. Tree farms are useful as well.
