Not only that, but the logging industry has a legal obligation to reforest areas they logged and ensure those trees reach free growing status. A legal obligation that is enforced better than most environmental regulations in the country. The logging companies wouldn’t plant trees AT ALL without it. In places like Russia where there isn’t that regulation, they just let the cut blocks regenerate slowly on their own because its so much cheaper.
