It'll take hundreds of years, before they become the size of the trees we cut for lumber, construction etc.
I can clear 3 to 5 acres per day on average.
That's roughly 700 to 1200 acres per year.
The company I work for has 2 feller bunchers so that means 1 logging company averages 1400 to 2400 acres cleared per year.
That's one logging operation. How many are there in Michigan alone? That's a lot of trees gone.
I don't see anyone furiously planting trees behind me.
