Trees are a renewable resource

I'd like to bring it to every one's attention that all of the
trees that were ever used by Ketchikan Pulp Co. are now regrown
and most are ready to be cut again. This of course will never
happen because the mill is gone. My point is that trees are a
renewable resource and the current attitude only makes the large
companies like Weyerhauser who own their own trees and replant
them, more valuable and that's what has been accomplished.
I grew up working in woods
with my dad and all the areas we cut are all regrown now. I feel
that the timber industry was wrong for not educating people about
the timber. The environmentalists use misinformation to further
their agenda.
Thank you,
