I worked on a private brush crew for a few years doing fire prevention on people's property. By the time we were done with thinning and chipping a section you had a mix of healthy trees and understory left with good mulch left over, no ladder fuels, and wildlife fuckin loved it. On some projects we we were going back the next year for more and got to see the prior years sections doing great. You get big, healthy trees doing this instead of doghair thicket crap.
Having done that, been around logging for years, been in the fire service and now being at least a bit of a conservationist, there's nobody that can convince me this is not the way to do things. Logging is fine, especially with replanting and after care.
