Finishing our hike with Ebi, we heard a helicopter overhead. Moving closer, we could see that the helicopter was lifting logs one or two at a time, and taking them down the mountain. workers at the section of downed treed were hooking the logs to a cable hanging from what looked like a small and underpowered helicopter.
Given that the Japanese cedar tree is special, and almost sacred, I found this clearcutting to be disturbing....
Until the boat ride down the Hozu river.....
When we learned that there were sections of blowdown from a 2019 typhoon....
And, in some places, the lumber was being salvaged.
