I like this approach of forest management. I agree that forest management is like weedig a garden, at another scale. But the same guidelines apply : planting; eliminating weeds, sapplings and brush for years, and finally collecting the result of your efforts, 15 to 20 years later. At a price which totally depends of the market at the time : a bonanza or a full fleddged financial deroute. But, above all, there is the pleasure of cultivating trees and maintaining a piece of our ecosystem.
You could say that. If you don't thin the trees, the weaker trees will eventually "self thin" by dying off. But they'll keep the best-performing trees from reaching their full potential, and may spread disease. So we remove them early, put them to good use by sending them to the pulp mills, and give those "crop trees" room to grow into robust trees that are ideal for making lumber, veneer and other high quality wood products.
I like how this Manager or maybe the president of the company explained. Very knowledgeable.

I am glad I bought some shares of Rayonier.
Glad to see the company doing well . The timber market is a boom and bust business. I know, I have a pine plantation.
This is kind of... Help natural selection to select faster growing, and stronger individuals 🤔🤔
