Although carbon sequestration is a big plus for keeping our forests, there are other important reasons for stopping the destruction of our forests. Trees produce rain fall and cool the earth which are becoming a huge issue with droughts and hot weather becoming more common. Habitat destruction is causing a huge decline in songbird populations as well as pollinators and other wildlife. Since 1970 North America has lost 3 billion birds mostly due to habitat loss.
Our state government professes to be progressive but let's walk the walk and not just talk the talk and put a halt to our destructive practices like clearcutting.
We need to remember this when Hilary Franz runs for governor.
