And Canada, and 7 million acres in the south. They are parasites.

Yeah they definitely don’t have the best environmental record in the PNW, and the south is pretty abysmal. Unfortunately anything “wrong” they have ever done was well within the law. Unfortunately forestry is regulated locally.

Fortunately here in Maine we have pretty good forestry regulations. No mono cropping and no plantations. Whereas in the south it’s all mono crop pine plantations.

Monocrop Douglas Fir is biting British Columbia bad right now. There is a beetle that is decimating those trees, and a massive amount of North American lumber comes from those trees in BC
