Since our horses have new homes, we have talked about what to do with the  pasture.   One option is to plant it in trees.  I just hate the thought of my pasture reverting back to a forest.

I understand.  I planted all of the pasture land that my Dad, Brother and I helped to clear up.  It served well in it's time, but land usages change.  My only regret is that I drug my feet and didn't allow my Dad to plant it all 10 years sooner.

Very careful on this topic or off to restricted it goes with all the other climate change topics.

Great thought.  How that can be anything but issue driven and divisive in this specific forum seems evident no matter what side of the issue one believes.  Plenty of other forums for political expression.  Just my opinion...and I spent 30 years upholdiing and defending the right to say it here.   Yep. some days it is hot out when working on wood.

It's a shame that it's considered a divisive political topic instead of a scientific one. But OneWithWood is right, sawing and using wood is not a big contributor to atmospheric CO2.

When learning timber framing, I was told to plant three trees for every one you use. I do and that is just good resource management. Climate is always changinging.  I don't believe man is a significant contributor.  As a scientist myself, I have not seen the evidence nor do I think there would be sufficient data to validate such a theory. The proven falsification of data by the first global warming scientists undermined a lot of credibility.  Yet many lay advocates today aren't even aware of this.  "Global warming" or "Climate change" continues to be driven by a political-economic agenda. 
Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

Without speaking my personal opinion about "human influence" on climate change, I would say most sawyers on here saw a very small quantity in the overall picture of timber harvesting. Also, in North America we have long accepted and followed reasonable reforestation policies. This is not the case in many countries that are rapidly clear cutting huge areas of tropical rainforest, which the slash is then burned, which causes  problems that should not be ignored reguardless of your political views. It would be different if they were reforesting too but most are not. Just my two cents worth.

One thing to keep in mind, there is a qualitative difference between a forest and a plantation.
