I have my own 20 acres of forest, too. I know how much effort it takes. And I agree - it would take work and money. And yes, there would be some culture change required to accept that your trees are not permanent, and to accept that other plants and trees will share the space. Yet at the same time, doesn't it feel like a healthier end result to have a natural resource that came from our deaths vs. a fairly nondescript patch of grass with a bunch of stones? Even if it does take a bit more work and money? After all, we're talking an incremental increase, not a 10x increase.
