It’s awesome that you’re thinking regeneratively. I understand that when a tree dies naturally and falls it creates a habitat that nurtures the ecosystem. I also understand that when trees are harvested, the branches are stripped off and left behind to emulate the natural cycle. I believe that when trees are harvested for wood, they leave the branches in well spaced piles to mitigate the fire risk. Wildfire fuel management is an important part of a well-managed system. In this example, they clearcut to build a trail and left miles of whole trees creating an unnatural fuel source.
