When David of the Buckeye Forest Council came to talk to our class, I became enlightened. I knew clear cutting had its pros and cons, but I didn't know what they were. If everything David said was true, its "pros" are only good for a select few. I remember being told that clear cutting and prescribed burning are good for the trees because it helps them dispense their seeds for germination, but apparently this is not true.
It is a shame to think about all of the homes lost for unsuspecting animals, and even worse to think about all of the animals that couldn't get away from the fires in time. David brought to light a lot of these issues and made me wonder what I could do to help.
