That is another good point. Logging
At least a lot of harvested ash trees came from tree farms. Much like the American chestnut and the ash tree they grow at a fairly decent pace, making them a great hardwood to harvest.
Because of things like the emerald ash bore many tree farms will simply not plant them, for it is a sure loss. Which further alienates the ash tree.

In regards to global warming there is a post called, An inconvenient truth. < Like the documentary.
It&#39;s very informative.

I had a chance to go out to the west coast and I was appalled by the logging in Oregon.

I know, I&#39;ve been around these forums, (reading more than posting).

There&#39;s a housing development behind my property, and I wonder what they did with all those tree&#39;s...They&#39;re probably firewood now.

Yaa really.
Did you have a nice view prior to the development?


I am around an urban sprawl.
The developments going up like crazy.
The ones that have been around for sometime have done like you describe, cut the trees down.
For asstetic purposes they leave some trees.
What they don&#39;t realize (or ignore the fact if they do) is that those trees developed in the midst of a forest and adapted that way.
Having the trees stripped from around them, if they get lucky enough to not have severe root damage, they will most likely die in a five year period before they can acclimate to their new environment.
