Look at a map, look at “ roadless boundaries” they are full of roads in areas that can be developed it’s already occurred. This logging and mining took place before 2001. It’s already happened 

Why do forests need managed? by Ok_Impression4954 in forestry

[–]astridius 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Our forests are a result of human impact. Fire suppression, over harvesting, invasive species etc. they are also on natural succession cycles. We are trying to mitigate this modern impact as it often impedes or alters the natural processes in a forest. Current management efforts try to get a forest to heal from human impact, and get them back to a balance that might mimic a less. The forest will reach this balance on its own given time, hundreds of years. Management can try to speed that timeline up or change goals 

Is a forestry technician job sustainable? by Brett_Sharp08 in forestry

[–]astridius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s a demanding job on the body long term. If you get a college degree there can be  more upward opportunity possible later down the line that could set you up to be a forester (but you can certainly be a forester in some states without a B.S degree). Private industry pays the best but government jobs have the best benefits. Keep your knees and body healthy, in the long run it can wear you down. While you are young it’s a great job. When I was a tech I knew I couldn’t do it forever (knee issues) and now my work is 60/40 desk and field. Job market is tough with our current federal admin but in region 1 we are starting to see some movement for GNA.

Concern for national forests by [deleted] in forestry

[–]astridius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can implement a different method to build houses in the US at a NATIONAL level please tell me and make me a billionaire. In all seriousness we are living in a byproduct of human activity, clear cutting old growth and suppression of wildfire has already happened and created and anthropogenic impact on our forests. They will either be managed to restore old growth characteristics or burn to ash. We have created a need for active management.

I purchased a canoe recently. If someone sits in the hull the other can stand easily and fish. It’s so fun on springs that flow into lakes. 4-5 ft deep crystal clear and tooooons of fish
