That's sadly unsurprising. If you have a source talking about that, I'd like to share it with others.

- DoreenMichele 7y agoI live in "the lumber capital of the known universe" and I've heard the opposite. I've heard that some local company plants 12 trees for every one they cut down. I can't readily find a source for that, but did find this: https://www.workingforests.org/forest-landowners-plant-three-trees-for-every-one-harvested/ https://www.workingforests.org/forest-landowners-plant-three...
- klyrs 7y agoNope, personal experience in a logging town
- bshipp 7y agoGrowing up a family friend owned a tree planting company and I got to know many of them before they headed north to start the season. My memory (in the early 80's) is definitely a large group of young, university-aged, smelly, bearded men (and a few non-bearded young women) camping in tents and showering in the open. I can imagine the distaste for professional loggers was more for the foolish behaviour of transient young people compared to the "professional" loggers than the actual act of tree planting. But that's just a guess.
