• Most timber companies cut all the trees in a given area, leaving large treeless gaps in the forest (called “clear-cutting”). Citizens are concerned that clear cutting is destroying the forests.

Clear-cutting has several effects on the environment: • • Reduces water quality. Causes erosion.

Clear-cutting has several effects on the environment: • • Reduces water quality. Causes erosion. Kills animals’ habitats. Heavy machinery leaves the forest floor compacted and makes it hard for new growth to start.
