Have you seen ranching and logging land? In general it’s actually very well managed. I for one like lumber prices on the down low so a single digit percentages of managed forest land being clear cut per year in a sustainable growth cycle doesn’t concern me. And while I’m not one for beef myself, I love to watch cows graze and when cows are held at reasonable density the look and feel of the grazed land isn’t all that different from nearby “untouched” land (keep in mind animals are also grazing that “untouched” land!)
- lettergram 5y agoWe used to have bison and what not on prairie land. I personally view it as the natural state for much of the US. I am working on setting up my off-grid sustainable farm. Cattle are relatively easy to keep if you have some average for grazing.
