He is a pioneer in the field.) The 10% set aside for Old-Growth trees is fantastic. It&#8217;s not required by FSC, but this is the key to restoring and not just sustaining lands.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, we&#8217;re <a title=\"Old-Growth Again Restoration Forestry\" href=\"\/restoration-forestry\/overview\">meeting the same higher standards<\/a> here at Old-Growth Again. The key is to cut at a very low rate that allows the forest to bring back the Old-Growth on its own over time. We also set aside 5 trees per acre to never be cut. Combining the very low cut rate and the set asides is the key to restoration forestry. Restoration forestry exceeds sustainable forestry standards because of the lower rates of cut set in perpetuity.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Ed for the video link and keep up the good work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Homer, a filmmaker and supporter of restoration forestry, sent us a link to one of his recent videos: The video shows a great example of the best of what the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has to offer.
