Wow. The land gets decimated when logged. Does the area get replanted?

I bet that's second or third time that spots been harvested.

Because all the sticks are the same size?

No, there’s pretty much no “old growth” left, most commercial stands are on their at least 3rd rotation I’m thinning. A patch of nice second growth is a rare sight most places.

This is second growth, most people who have never been around the trade would tell its old growth based on the size. An old growth has a different look to it, the old timers would call it yellow fir because of the color also the bark is different and much thicker.

This is a passed up old growth snag.

Out for a local drive.
The one picture you have to look at to see how steep the terrain is, there is a machine down there working.
Came across 12 active logging shows in a 100 mile drive.
