I've seen a few groves of old growth in the west...not to be missed. Around here there was originally probably 95% old growth hardwoods...still a very few patches of large trees....not the originals I'm pretty sure.
Natural old growth results in well spaced out large trees...current practices in the west result in closely spaced stick farms?
Here they sometimes clean out the fence rows...pile up the brush and burn it. While in Africa women trudge out into the bush for a few sticks.
I think the issue is...if there isn't big profits in it...it doesn't get done.
