They're clearcutting my backyard right now. Edit *56k I took pics*

The forest in my backyard that I've grown up with all my life. Is being clearcutted. You can hear and see the trees just falling and all the machinary chopping away. Pretty traumatizing as I played in that forest all the time as a kid. And now at 17 Im watching a company destroy it. My mom who has lived in this house 30 years of her life is about to cry.

Have you guys ever hadanything you love destroyed like this?

Got home from school today (At 3 original post at 9am) and went out back to see what had been done so far and took some pics with my iphone. Looks like there not clearcutting, atleast not yet.

Damn dude...

Move to another area where there is a forest , you seen one,you have seen them all ;)

You could always go chain yourself to one of the trees.

Actually had the same sort of thing happen to me.

Lived in this town house for a while as a kid and it had this fantastic woods around it.

They freaking went and cut it all down...

That's horrible :(

That's not good, never had something like that happen to me though.

Houses were built on my sledding hill.

TC that sucks. My dad solid our trailer we used to camp with when I was younger and that was pretty sad.

Practically the entire forest where I grew up, where I used to hike with my brother for hours, has been developed. We used to hear coyotes in the valley below our property, but not anymore. This occured over a period of about 10-15 years.

I sometimes wonder where this will stop, will we literally just build until there is no open space left? Is that rational in any way?

It's actually really sad to see a forest being cut down. Some people might not think so, but they're the type of people who don't really give a crap about anything (you're not cool).

The closest thing that's happened to me is the current clearcutting of my huntcamp's section of forest. The camp is on private land, but the forest that we hunt in is Crown land (Government owned) and they've decided to clear it out. Nothing on the land we use has been touched yet, but some of the groups that hunt next to us have started to become affected. It's frustrating to know that within the next few years we'll have to find somewhere else to go.
