Cutting down trees 4 fun

Hey guysss!

Today's blog will be a short one but nonetheless important. I'm going to be talking about an environmental issue.

We can all agree that we love trees right? They give oxygen any they are generally really cool. Well then WHY do people feel the need to cut them down?? "Well we got to get the wood materials from somewhere-" STOP RIGHT THERE, you have not heard the full story.

I live in a swampy, bogy, marshy area. And in this swamp were a few trees. However, they were very small and as in most bogs there were not a lot of them what with the mires and ponds everywhere. BUT that did not stop the tractors from coming. This all happened many years ago when I was still small btw. At first we saw tractors and other feller bunchers in the distance of the swamp. It was said that a christmas tree farm would be built in the deforested areas but obviously we were sceptical because... well it was a SWAMP. Pretty quickly they cut down almost EVERYTHING in that swamp and just left. Nothing was built in place. The swamp however dried up and wasn't the same anymore. 

Now it has been many years, the trees have started to grow back and the swamp is slowly regaining it's moisture level. However, when I go to explore the nature and stuff it pains me to still see tractor tracks that have now filled with bog water. It's not just about the trees. There was a lot of wildlife in that swamp too. Wild boars, foxes, deer and many bird species. I assume that they all left of died when the tractors came. But as I said before, nature is resilient. Some trees have grown back and with them the birds. We also on occasion see some little deers eating the raspberry bushes by our fence. But the question remains: Why did they destroy everything? What was to gain? I don't think i'll ever know and I can only pray that it never happens again.
