I am very interested in these plans – it is exactly what I need right now. Hopefully you can figure out how to attach soon – or I could send you an email if not.

Thanks

Because of the time involved in harvesting trees – many of the commercial models are risky. This is because the longer you have to wait for the trees to mature, the more likely one or more risks will defeat you.

More natural forest reduce this problem. Since they are not monocrop, the chances of disease for example wiping out the trees is significantly reduced. You also have diversity which helps deal with market fluctuations.

Even though it is possible that a more natural forest (i.e. mixed aged, continual coverage) may appear less profitable, in the long run, I do believe, when you count all factors, not just wishful thinking, it is more so.
