If you have ever been to Germany you probably have seen how well kept and managed the forests are. Unless things have changed but for every tree that was cut in a forest 4 or more saplings have to be planted to replace the tree

Trees grow so well in the Sierras, that for every large tree, you have to cut dozens of smaller ones. If you do not, they will crowd out the larger trees on water shortage years and wipe out the old growth.

That is how the sierra club wiped out 40% of the High Sierra Pines. One size fits all legal obstruction. Drought + Sierra Club = Massive bug kills. Physically, the worst thing that every happened to the Sierras, was the Sierra Club.
