I feel your pain and grief. I am suspecting the private landowners are clearcutting their forests to feed the devastating wood pellet industry led by Enviva. Have you contacted the Dogwood Alliance? https://www.dogwoodalliance.org/2022/11/does-enviva-clearcut-forests-the-surprising-truth/

I wrote about this too and have connections in North Carolina and know a lot of amazing activists fighting to save the forests and expose Enviva's lies.

Thank you for writing this painful and eloquent piece--it's such an important step to take--we need to be angry and we need to find ways to stand up and stop the madness.

Thank you, just thank you, for giving words to our collective confusion and pain. If it helps one teensy bit, there are so many of us feeling the same. And our voices can be heard.
