Maybe not this particular tree, but yeah. Shelves, house framing and siding, etc. We’re a horrible greedy little species.

Even worse. Many of our ancient forests were cut into boards for personal profit.

Regenerative Agriculture / Permaculture

If you plan to lease out to a farmer, find one that won’t fill it with herbicides and pesticides. And maybe look to only lease part of it while you work to recover other parts.

I’m looking to buy land that needs to be recovered and have the budget that will likely lead me to a place like this that doesn’t have direct road access. Good luck!
