Methods of Harvesting Forests
1.Clear Cutting - Loggers remove every tree and leave a barren landscape.
When replanted, the new forest grows uniformly in species and size.
2. Shelter wood Cutting
Involves clear-cutting only part of an old growth forest. Small groups of
seed bearing trees are left so the area will regenerate.
3. Selective Cutting
Only mature trees of the desired size, type or quality are cut down.
Forestry Issues
1. Too few trees are replanted? = Soil erosion.
2. Clogged Rivers
3. Water and Air Pollution
4. Aerial Spraying
5. Forest Fires
