This is certainly a concern when logging old growth forests that have never been logged before, but I'm not sure it is such a concern with managed forests. I am pretty comfortable with the idea of increasing the area allotted to managed forests in the uk, particularly if it is allowing for a reduction in CO2 emmissions from homebuilding. I also suspect that the alternative for areas that are/could become managed forests is not for them to be left alone and undeveloped.
