The motive remains a mystery, but this is an opinion blog, so we feel comfortable suggesting this might be eco-terrorism.
Responsible logging is a big deal in New Hampshire and has been since most of the forests have grown back over the past 100+ years. The state is over 80% forested, with 73% of that total privately owned, and is the second most-forested state in the nation as a percentage of land area (Maine is number one).
That’s impressive when you consider that not that long ago, the state had been effectively clear-cut and, since recovery, has maintained 80-85% coverage.
If this is not some random act of vandalism, then it is the action of an individual or individuals who have no clue how well-managed New Hampshire’s forests are and the part professional loggers play in keeping it that way.
If you have information, please contact Chuck Rose Logging as directed on the Facebook Page.
