Hi Oldtimer,
I completely agree with your concern about deforestation, as probably does everyone who cares about trees and the environment. However, I'm sure you don't mean to belittle the legitimate concerns of environmentalists that treetop ecosystems could be easily destroyed by careless climbers. I know that you yourself are a climber who is cautious not to inadvertently hurt any part of the trees you climb. I also know that you are careful to observe guidelines for wilderness ethics.

We need to continue to register our opposition to clear-cutting forests. At the same time, though, part of our obligation to be good "environmental stewards" is also being vigilant to preserve and protect what little is left of the world's environment, including those moss mats in the trees.
Thanks.
patty

There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants.  --Michael Eyquem, seigneur de Montaigne
