How Can Timber Harvesting Benefit The People And The Wildlife

By Christine Carter


Most of the things and materials that one sees in their surroundings are resources that are found in the forest, specifically from trees. However must of the concerns that environmentalist are rising against timber harvesting PA and in other states, is that it may cause great environmental damage and might even be the cause of global warming in the near future.

This leads to the question of how can cutting down the local wildlife habitat be good for them? Because for one good reason it increases habitat diversity, it is a fact that even animals have their own preference in the kind of habitat they want to live in. Now having trees that have the same age, height length, could minimize the chances of habitat diversity and there for could not cater the needs of all the wildlife in the area.

Having some of the older trees cut down provides that chance for little trees and sapling to grow and flourish and therefore becoming the habitats of some local wildlife. And this has been proven in a study that has been conducted to ensure the existence of these animals.

Another benefit would be timber management provides tax benefits to local government. And with tax the government could devise better projects for the development of the state and people living in the community.

But that is not entirely up to the people, but of the property owners who are also benefiting from timber harvesting. According to study that has been done regarding Timber harvesting, most property owner actually prefer to keep the forest alive and the trees going.

Of course it would not, one cannot say that one habitual preference fits all kinds of animals, it might be suitable for some animals but not for all. Therefore cutting down some older trees would provide a greater chance for young sapling and trees to grow and provide shelter to all sort of wildlife.

Timber harvesting also helps the economic rate of the state to grow, for the reason that these property owners who have timber business provides tax revenue to the government. And with the amount of tax the government gets yearly, imagine the projects that they could make for economic growth, and for the comforts and wellbeing of its people in the state.

Another benefit is for the people, all the wood that they harvest will be useful to the people, in order to build their own house. For some couples who are just starting out, the materials that forest provide is an aide for them to build their dream houses.

A house where they could build a family of their own, and everyone has to admit the fact that without these resources that the forest provides, then no one would be living so comfortable these days. There is nothing wrong with harvest materials as long as one remains grateful and preserve the forest for future generations to benefit from it.
