Biden administration proposes to limit cutting old-growth trees

The Biden administration is proposing new protections for old-growth forests, but stopping short of blocking all logging of the carbon-storing plants.
The Forest Service on Thursday proposed to limit the culling of these mature trees in national forests, stoking ire from some in the timber industry and cheers from environmental groups.

        Cutting of these trees should not even be an option.They need to be protected at all cost.In some other countries you cannot cut indigenous trees without permission from authorities.
