Trees – Renewable or Non-renewable Resource?
Trees are complex organisms that come in a huge variety of forms.
If they are harvested, more trees are regenerated or planted to take
their place. Trees that grow in native forests or plantations are harvested
and then replaced through regeneration or replanting . This is an example
of a renewable resource.
However trees, or forests in which they grow, must be cared for so
as to maintain their values to humans and other living species, not
just for the present but also for the future.
