Being in northern New England the logging industry is everywhere. But, not the stump removal equipment, interesting. Besides destroying beautiful forest habitat, the trucks flying down back roads scare the heck out of me, they stack them so high they look very top heavy.

I caught myself rooting for the stumps!

@d-m-holcombe I hear you David....... I caught myself stumping for the roots! Seriously though; it made me think of how very many years it took to grow that tree and the few seconds it took to cut it down, limb it , cut it into lengths and rip out the stump. Truly amazing.

My Maine friends say the law is to replace each one cut with four, but in practice they do five or six. I'm going on memory, but I think that's right.

@ed-glorius; Loggers are required to plant trees when harvesting on state or federal land, private/corporate land the only restrictions I know of are no CLEAR CUTTING and keeping established distances from property lines & water ways.
I drive through multiple tree harvest land every day on both N.H. & Maine and see no trees planted, the land is private property though. People seem to harvest their land about every 20 years for an income up here.

Living in northern New England, I share your concerns about the logging industry's impact on the environment and safety. It's interesting that stump removal equipment isn't as common. When it comes to tree service companies, a natural approach that balances economic needs with preserving the ecosystem is crucial. Hopefully, there'll be a shift towards more sustainable and safer practices in the future.
