It takes no equipment nor people to cut no timber and process nothing.  A maintenance free operation.  No pollution.  No trees cut.  No roads needed.  No biologists,  limnologists,  foresters,  ad infinatum.  And,  fuel loads increase annually.  It will burn and the land will erode,  and it will reburn,  and the land will erode again.  Old growth to planted trees in a year was once the case,  and now it is stand removal fire,  and zero trees planted,  a reburn,  and miles and miles of perennial brush fields with no trees,  young or old.  Just fuel for the next lightning storm.  Oh.  And no revenue.  Just outgo.  Expenses.
