You might even win a Nobel Peace Prize.

It would be more fitting if that Prize was re-named to: NOBEL TERRORIST PRIZE!!!

Wood-wise, old growth is denser and stronger. The rings are closer together and it tends to be more visually pleasing, IMHO.

New growth is usually a specially bred tree that grows quickly, but is not as “good” of a wood. You can really tell the difference when you look at the rings.

On that note... Old growth lumber is very desirable and commands a higher price. I’d think that paper and pulp would only be made with scraps that would otherwise be trashed or burned.

Here in Oregon the paper mills have started farming trees just for pulp. It’s quite a sight.

I was waiting for when the enviro-Nazis would turn on their MSM allies.

This reminds me of old Adolph turning on his Soviet buddies.
