It’s annoying me that I know nothing of the story behind this. Perhaps it meets some every-other-tree rule in a way that is easily verifiable with one flyover, or even Google Maps.
Every other square mile is cleared for logging as some sort of forestry preservation/logging compromise. The spaces logged are clear cut.
Yeah, the mixed use doctrine is more or less a subsidy on logging to ensure cheap wood, but not letting the government sell the wood it grows.
That was pretty much my intuition. Thanks.
Another replyer alluded to this but if every plant can spread its seeds X feet then by cutting like this you increase the total surface area the plants are able to spread to. Increasing the natural regrowth rate.
Where is the link to this in Google maps?
Its all over the pacific northwest. Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana. Its not a specific spot.
