Port Blakely's young forests range in age from 1 to 20 years old. That's really young in tree years, as some trees like the western redcedar can grow to over 1,000 years old.
Plantation is another name that we give to our young forests. A plantation is an area of trees planted by humans to replace trees that have been harvested. We cut less trees than we grow. This is called sustained yield forestry.
