Costs vary as to the type of trees and the area to be worked. As regards fir trees, the figure of $65 per acre has been circulating. Energy costs are pushing that figure higher. The "missig link" in this activity is the time it will take for the trees to grow up and "reforest" the forest. Seedlings are started and planted by the millions every year, but the old growth forests they replace when grown up support a slightly different group of critters. One classic example might be the marbled murrelet, which only nests in old growth forest, like Pacific Coast redwoods. And how long does it take for a redwood to mature? Maybe five hundred years? Maybe a thousand? Wikipedia has an article, but at this writing it is a stub. It does, however, have links to related material. Why not surf on over and check it out. Oh, need a link? You got it.
