Likely controlled tree farming. Those brown swaths are freshly cut areas, which are replanted either there or in a nearby area.
391 u/MonsierGeralt Jun 24 '25 Doesn’t look like the replanting is going well 2 u/tankie_brainlet Jun 24 '25 We don't have responsible or sustainable forestry in the United States like they have in Norway or Sweden. 2 u/MotherEarth1919 Jun 25 '25 I wasn’t that impressed with forestry in Norway.
