Industry Affected: Woodchipping
Proposed by: The Rogue Nation of Skinnydippers
Description: For the purposes of this proposal, "nature" shall be defined as the state of an ecosystem that is unaffected by man kind, whether directly or indirectly.
This region, finding that in nature the nutrients in a tree continue to benefit the surrounding area even after the tree's death, hereby proposes that the following steps be taken to promote environmental progress.
One: that companies felling a tree for the purposes of creating woodchips, mulch, and paper be required to return to the area from which the tree was removed a portion of said tree consisting of, as closely as can be determined, five percent of the roots, seven precent of the stem, and seven precent of the crown.
Two: that companies felling a tree for the purposes of creating woodchips, mulch, and paper be required, prior to felling a tree, to determine and record the girth and height, genus and species, and approximate location in latitude and longitude of said tree.
Three: that companies felling a tree for the purposes of creating woodchips, mulch, and paper be required to replant at least four-fifths of the felled land with identical felled trees and allow replanted trees approximately twenty years before being re-felled.

Please support this bill for our ecosystem and the presrvation of future industries and forests.
