Unless of course the forest is non-native tax-haven pine, the kind of stuff planted in the 70's to allow rock stars, actors and comedians to avoid paying tax.

Unless of course the forest is non-native tax-haven pine, the kind of stuff planted in the 70's to allow rock stars, actors and comedians to avoid paying tax. These types of forests generally aren't native and are they're not particularly great at supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. Re-planting with native deciduous species is a much better thing in the long run environmentally speaking.
