The True Conservationist - Private Forests - Watton, Michigan.
The only forests being actively managed today with any long-term vision are private forests and some State forestlands. They are providing the bulk of our forest fiber needs and because of responsible management are also providing the majority of our wildlife habitat, clean water, oxygen and.... are responsible for cleaning our air by taking in and storing billions of tons of CO2 annually. It takes a great deal of care and cost to manage a forest before any return on investment can occur. For instance, plant a tree and see how long it takes for it to mature.
