Roger Dziengeleski, Finch Paper's vice president and senior forester, also discussed the importance of clearcutting in forests. "Clearcuts have developed a bad name because they are not aesthetically appealing but, when used on a limited basis in a patch arrangement, they can be both very effective and consistent with what Mother Nature does in the Adirondack mountains," he explains. "Clearcuts are very important to ensuring long-term forest health in specific circumstances since we lose around 6,000 acres of forests a year to development. So, it's not just about saving trees, it's about saving forests."
