There has been a lot of debate about the Young Forest Initiative which I think is what you are referring to. It is far from accepted science though. Michael Kellet actually did some research on the principles of the Young Forest Initiative and wrote a peer reviewed paper on the subject. It is his opinion that it is not helpful to cut down forest to create habitat. He presented some of the results from his paper here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCC2_ZBRKUg
