Overview

Over twenty years spent planting seedlings across clear-cuts becomes a lens on how we shape—and reshape—forested landscapes. The narrative moves between hard, physical labor and thoughtful reflection on whether fast-grown plantations can ever replace the complexity of original forests.

The book traces the human and ecological stories around logging: boom-and-bust cycles, the many uses of wood, and the practical challenges of restoring diverse habitats. The writing blends fieldwork detail with environmental history and ethical questioning, offering close-up scenes of crews, camps, and the patchwork of cut and regrowth.
