“They were talking about reforestation and how soon these trees would grow back. So we were looking, as the gentleman said, at 500-year-old trees and 400-year-old trees, and there were people from the forestry industry that said, ``See all this? It will be back in 30 years.'' How the hell will it be back in 30 years, when it took 500 years to grow the first time? Plus you know what happens to the soil on these slopes. A lot of these will not be back. That is why it took 500 years for that tree to get there.”
