I remember when I was much younger and living with my parents, we had a 20 acre bush at the back of the property with wonderful old trees including black walnut. My father in his infinite wisdom thought it would be a wonderful idea if he sold the tree to a logging company. I didn't know about it soon enough to do anything, so the company had half cleared the bush by the time I got there. The deal was to take only the large trees and leave the smaller ones to grow. You know where this is going.

In order to take only the larger trees, theu buldozed all the smaller one out. It may as well been clear cut and plowed under! My heart broke! I cried for the loss of the trees and the animal habitats. All in the name of greed!
