Hi Beck: No, that was a federal project. This involves state lands. I'm guessing you have a similar situation in your state. You probably have legacy forests (cut, but prior to industrial replanting.) as well.

The history of Connecticut is filled with horror and hope.

At one point, 80-90% of the forest in CT was clear cut for pasture or agricultural mono crops. Today we have regrown 60-68% forest canopy cover statewide.

Nature is not as fragile as you might think.

Humanity on the hand, is fragile and doesn’t stand a chance. We are like a snowball in hell.

Old growth is critical for forest survival in a changing climate... not one more old growth tree cut down for personal profit.... we are all one interdependent....
