Though, they are taking new patches of trees every day before allowing the new trees to fully regrow. For a pine tree to provide cover and habitat for all of our animals, it would take more than seven to 10 years. Only then would it be even large enough to provide shelter and cover for animals. The other problem with this is they are taking a large amount of trees from our location, Unit 4 Cataldo.
